Fix your contrast.
If people have to squint, they’ll scroll past.
Contrast is the fastest way to make any design easier to read.
Swipe to learn how. 👉
When everything looks the same, nothing stands out.
Look at the two cards: same text, but the one with a bold, larger title tells you what matters in a second.
Make the important differences easy to see.
Two different colors can still be hard to read if they have the same lightness.
Hue alone isn’t enough.
Check the light-to-dark difference between text and background, and use a contrast checker for any text you publish.
Size shows what matters most. On this sale poster, “50% OFF” is the hero and the dates and location stay small.
One big headline plus smaller supporting details gives viewers a clear path to follow.
You don’t need five font families.
Use bold for section names and regular for the items under them.
This menu stays clean and scannable with just one typeface and two weights.
Contrast isn’t only visual.
A rough paper texture next to a smooth label gives a design depth you can almost feel.
Texture adds interest, but always keep your text clear and easy to read.
