Anyone involved in any of the above?
I need some advice...
Fortunately, for the first time EVER, the company I work for has decided to employ some in a "marketing" capacity to take responsibility for mailshots, newsletters, corporate brochures and the like.
Unfortunately, they a) are on a year's placement from Uni and b) (unfortunately for them and me) they report to me... (WHY!)
The main problem is that this person's eye for design is abysmal. Is there an "idiot's giude" available on the net anywhere to give them some pointers?
It has to include the obvious, like "Don't use every font you can think of in 4 page document", "Keep font sizes consistent", etc.
I've had a quick google, but can't find anything useful.
Help!
