Design for Designers - Section 2 (of 9)

In this section:

2.1 - Enhance clarity with good design
2.2 - Do not convey information with colour alone
2.3 - Create contrast between foreground and background
2.4 - Avoid using flashing, flicker and unnecessary animation
2.5 - Use multimedia with care
2.6 - Create flexible width design if possible and appropriate

Do not be afraid to exercise your creative abilities - just keep these guidelines in mind to avoid excluding (or possibly harming!) anyone. Many of the principles will not be new to you.
