To Motivate

Not every person will read your text. Most readers will check headlines, look at illustrations, and read some parts of the article. Therefore, we need to make sure that the most important parts are HIGHLIGHTED.

What to Do

What to Do

  • There is no text without aim. Stresses will help to get it, so every text should have accents.
  • Don't stress something - just the most important and interesting.

Check Your Image

Check Your Image

  • To check yourself, read just stressed lines: from headlines to removals. Questions: Does it help to understand the article? Do you see the benefits? Could you find advantages of the product?
  • Make a prototype - the schema of the page. Add comments, colors, different sizes, images, tables, bullets, buttons and so on. It will significantly help the designer.
  • Don't overdo it. The more accents, the less contrast.
