How to Design like a S.A.I.N.T.
Once you decide on content, the task of designing your own bulletins can be daunting. We've compiled some basic design principles into the acronym S.A.I.N.T. to give you a simple set of tips to keep in mind.
- Simplicity – Less truly is more! Keep text concise and decoration minimal, so that your message can be as clear as possible
- Absolutes – Contrast is one of the primary principles of design. Including a mix of big and small text, light and dark colors, thin and thick shapes, and so on will guide the readers’ eyes through the different sections
- Importance – Decide what you want readers to notice first, then second, then third, and so forth. Use the types of contrast in the previous point to create a visual hierarchy that makes it obvious where viewers should be looking
- Neatness – Break information into bite-size sections and group related sections together. Use margins and a simple grid to make sure everything is organized and lined up consistently
- Type & Images – Keep text size and font the same across paragraphs and headlines, and try to stick to 1-2 fonts. When incorporating an image, be aware that it will draw a lot of attention, so make sure to choose a clear, quality image that matches the message they are representing
