These are not tricks

March 4, 2017 By Ed Henninger Leave a Comment

I DON’T LIKE TRICKS. Or gimmicks. Or geegaws. They add nothing to our profession. Instead, they tend to cheapen our work and our commitment to good design and good journalism.

So, when I saw the title to this piece, I knew I had to “edit” it. Now, my editing isn’t gonna make a nano-bit of difference to the article on the web. But it makes me feel much better about recommending it to you.

There are some very good TIPS here that will help you create better text. And they’re certainly worth your attention.

But they’re not tricks.

Read the piece and learn.

End of rant.

WE ALL DEAL with text. And here’s a super infographic that can help us learn how to do it better, from thevisualcommunicationguy.com. Take a tour through it here. When the link opens, just click on the graphic to enlarge it.

A lot of this, you may already know. But the graphic is a good reminder—and its illustrations help to make the point. 

Enjoy!
