A pocket-sized online zine of five-minute design lessons, palettes and type pairings, for people who make things but never went to art school.
Every page needs a single hero element. If everything is bold, nothing is.
One dominant color, one supporting, one accent. That's the whole trick.
One for headlines, one for reading. Contrast them in style, not in mood.
Double your margins and watch an amateur design start to look expensive.
Browser-based editors, free font libraries and color pickers worth bookmarking.
One sheet of paper, eight pages, one fold and one cut. Print it, staple nothing.
