When selecting the right design elements in producing your message, list the seven tips discussed to make your message more attractive and contemporary.

1. Reflect a modern appearance to help busy readers get your message.
2. Emphasize main parts of your message by balancing text with graphics.
3. Use white space to show organization and provide visual contrast for your readers.
4. Use headings, which are short phases that summarize a section of the document, to emphasize key content.
5. Improve readability through margins and layout.
6. Choose easy-to-read typefaces but be sure to limit the number of type faces to no more than two on a page.
7. Use type styles to dramatize important information but remember to use sparingly so you do not slow down the reader's progress through the message.
