325 Journal 6





1. Good use of white space










 2. Poor use of white space

 5. Single Column Grid

10. numbers or letters used for a list

11. Bullet, arrow, or other highlighting cues














12. Drop Cap










13. Good ordering of information






So I have a terrific example of poor ordering of information, but I didn't take a picture of the sign before they changed it. However, it was a sign at a Chevron in Orem. It was arranged thus:

BUY A CAR
WASH WITH GAS
GET 10 PERCENT BACK

I guess they should have used some punctuation or rearranged the wording a little. I'd rather not take a gas-bath at a car lot, but if it saved me 10% of that car purchase, I might be tempted. I laughed every time I passed it, but never bought my gas there.     The picture here is the same sign but the opposite side.
