The Ten Commandments of FCP
1) Thou shalt not present pixellated or distorted images.
2) Thou shalt use a grid structure.
3) Thou shalt respect the 10 commandments of type.
-not apply more than three type faces in one document
-no other size than 8pt to 10pt for body copy
-honour the kerring
-turn off hyphenation
-question why you are using the font
-shalt not use comic sans
4) Thou shalt not use unnecessary elements on the page.
5) Thou shalt not use standard printer paper.
6) Thou shalt consider the aesthetic of the brand.
7) Thou shalt use spell check and proof read.
8) Thou shalt avoid designs that don't fit the context.
9) Thou shalt always do a test print, even if only one page.
10) Thou shalt use my reflective journal.
I will now religiously check through all these ten points when I'm creating a piece of work. All the points are really helpful and will help to create a finished professional document in the future.
