Here are a few tips that I took away from Ed Henninger’s design workshop at the CPA convention in New Orleans: - Think about space and what you don’t see. Next time you see a FedEX logo, look for the arrow. White space is an element that you can use to tell a story.
- Remember to balance your page so it doesn’t fall over.
- Shape can be defined by:
A. type
B. form
C. contrast
D. dimension
E. proportion
F. unity
4. We read words and groups of words. 5. Use photos big. 6. Use good graphics. 7. Let color speak. 8. Link elements with color. Good example is from The Catholic Spirit http://thecatholicspirit.com go to print archives, phrase, type in sowing a legacy to see the page. Ed said he uses stock.xchng.com - which came up as www.sxc.hu when I searched the Web - to find free photos for pages.
Visit his website at www.henningerconsulting.com to see some before and after views of his work.
Very visual and creative.

Since @catholicspirit eclipsed 10,000 followers people have been asking us how. We have been using an automated Twitter client called Tweet Adder. With it we can target specific profiles to create lists, auto-follow and auto-unfollow those who do not follow back in kind. We're also able to automate recurring tweets and schedule tweets for the future. If you want to give it a try you can find it here: Tweet Adder |

I just found out that there is an ecumenical prayer service sponsored by the Commission for Ecumenism and Interreligious Affairs of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and the Minnesota Council of Churches scheduled for June 17 at UST. Events like this are always interesting. I read a lot of apologetics usually so it is good for me to take my focus off of our differences and celebrate the similarities we share with our separated brethren. |
