Hi there folks,
Having recently completed a degree in graphic design I've decided to take a step of faith and start my own business. However, I'm still feeling very new to the area and I'm suddenly aware that there are a lot of practical 'rules' that they don't teach you at uni... if anyone's got any opinions on the following, I'd be glad to hear them.
I'm working on a brochure at the moment (it's trifold, paper size A4) and my instinct is to make the main text size 9pt as there's quite a lot of it to fit on and I think it'll be more aesthetically pleasing. Are there any unwritten laws about this kind of thing? As I understand it, most books and magazines use 9pt but I'm not sure about smaller leaflets etc
Any thoughts?
