 Legibility

• Use sans serif fonts: Arial, Helvetica, etc.
• Avoid sentences in capital letters.
• Use bold, limit italics.
• Choose a sober color scheme with sufficient contrast between background and text.

Content

• Guide the reader: clear layout, possibly with arrows.
• Balance text and images: approximately 50/50.
• Use keywords, avoid long sentences.
• Favor images and figures, limit tables.
• Importance of blank space: ideally
• • 30 % text
  • 40 % illustrations
  • 30 % blank space
• Avoid:
