What’s on the slides

  1. Slide 1

    Spec sheet for anyone who designs anything

    Design rules nobody teaches you

  2. Slide 2

    Make the big thing bigger

    If the headline is only 20% larger than body text, nothing leads. Try 3×.

  3. Slide 3

    One accent. One.

    A second accent colour halves the power of the first. Let black and white do the work.

  4. Slide 4

    Margins are content

    Double the padding you think you need. Crowded layouts read as cheap.

  5. Slide 5

    Two fonts, max

    One for shouting, one for talking. A third font is almost always a mistake.

  6. Slide 6

    Align it or break it on purpose

    Nearly aligned looks like an error. Snap to the grid, or go far off it.

  7. Slide 7

    Save this before your next layout
