Things to Remember • Avoid excessive use of curves (shapes). It takes away from the appearance of the brochure. Keep the look of your brochure simple and remember the target audience. For example: Are you creating the brochure for a business? For example a bank. If so, you want it to look formal. Or are you creating the brochure for teen males/females ages 15 to 19. If so, you want it to fit the interest of a teenager. • Avoid excessive shadowing when using WordArt. It is hard to read and a poor desktop publishing technique.
