Editor's Notes
Bad design sticks out – good design doesn’t draw attention to itself, rather draws attention to the content.
Design is communication made visual. Humans make determinations and judgments based on visual appearance of content (colors, shapes, etc.).
Most fonts are in one of two categories serif and sans-serif. Serif is the tail at the ends of letters.
