Advertising Trends magazine suggested the following tips, among others, in an article called, "Tips for Successful Print Ad Designing."

  • Do not place a period at the end of a headline. Periods tend to indicate to readers that there is no need to read on.
  • Begin headlines at top left. Studies have shown that the reader's eye naturally falls to the upper left corner.
  • "Serif" typefaces are regarded as the most legible font; nearly every newspaper in the world uses them due to their high readability. Readers are comfortable with them.
  • Avoid color headlines; researchers have noted that readers find colored headlines distracting. Studies have also shown that the darker the color, the greater the comprehension. Keep the text black if possible.
  • Black text on a tinted background also increases comprehension. It is easier on the readers' eyes than the black and white contrast.
  • Avoid reverse print (e.g., white text on black background).
  • Keep your layout clean, including using consistent type styles.
  • A traditional ad layout is: photo/illustration over headline over body copy. This is not etched in stone, but it has been proven effective.
  • Remember that for every advertising rule, there is an exception that is just as effective.
