What is Color CRAYON TIP?
Color CRAYON TIP is a handy acronym developed by the author of this website, Dr. Curtis Newbold, to help relatively new designers understand ten basic categories for designing better documents:
- Color
- Contrast
- Repetition
- Arrangement
- “Why“
- Organization
- Negative Space
- Typography
- Iconography
- Photography
These ten categories don’t cover all the complexities of good design, but they cover enough to make the average person create good-looking, professional documents. Learn these principles well and you’ll be well on your way to designing awesome stuff!
