Turn & talk

    • What do you remember about menus that weren’t easy to read?

Pro tips

    • Left justification is the easiest to read
    • Generally, don’t use more than two fonts, and usually to provide contrast (style, size, color)
    • The busier the design, the harder to navigate
    • Pick a template that won’t take too much editing
