39. TIPS
40. TIPS
41. TIPS COLOR Don’t make the screen too bright or too dim. Use bright colors for small areas, light colors for large areas. Use bright colors to emphasize, non-bright to de-emphasize. Provide visual cues. Use colors to group items.
42. TIPS COLOR Emphasize separation with contrasting colors (r/g). Convey similarity with similar colors (o/y). Use desaturated or spectrum center colors for text (y/g). Use darker, spectrally extreme colors for background (b/k).
43. TIPS
44. TIPS TYPE PAIRS Use Font Families: HELVETICA BOLD with HELVETICA LIGHT Use San Serif with Serif: HELVETICAwith PALATINO
45. TIPS
46. TIPS < Last row = H X 8 of the screen (8H).
47. TIPS SCREENS Well-designed screens require 20-25% less time to read. Users have 25% less errors with well- designed screens. Users spend 40% less time making decisions with well-designed screens.
48. TIPS SCREENS: Color Don’t count on a strong ability to distinguish color. (Remember that over 25% of the population is color blind.) Stay with basic colors that show on all monitors. Don’t give users too much to remember; 5 organizational colors max.
49. TIPS SCREENS: Color Keep common associations. Red=danger Yellow=warning Blue=cooler temperature Be consistent with color use.
50. TIPS SCREENS: Color 2-COLOR COMBINATIONS GOOD white/green gold/cyan gold/green green/magenta POOR red/blue red/green red/purple white/yellow
51. TIPS SCREENS: Color 3-COLOR COMBINATIONS GOOD white/gold/green white/gold/blue white/gold/magenta gold/lavender/green POOR yellow/red/green red/blue/green red/magenta/blue white/cyan/yellow
52. TIPS SCREENS: Graphics Every image should have a purpose. Graphics should have a consistent style. Align each image with something. Avoid tiny images with a lot of detail. Each graphic should fit entirely on a screen. Avoid unnecessary embellishment.
53. TIPS SCREENS: Typefaces Detailed fonts only work at very large sizes. Medium weights work better than light or very heavy fonts. Vertical and horizontal lines appear sharper than diagonals and curves on a monitor.
54. TIPS SCREENS: Typefaces Condensed fonts are difficult to read. Avoid script fonts. Reverse type is harder, more tiring to read. All caps are harder to read. (Short labels are OK in upper case).
55. TIPS SCREENS: Typefaces Serifs are OK for body copy provided they are large enough with short line lengths and more space between the lines. Chunk text. Be kind to your reader. If it looks hard to read, it is.
56. TIPS SCREENS: Typefaces Serifs are OK for body copy provided they are large enough with short line lengths and more space between the lines. Chunk text. Be kind to your reader. If it looks hard to read, it is.
