Pitfall #3 – TMI / TLDR

Best Practices • Never overestimate the consumer

– Never use crazy big words or internal

jargon

• KISS (Keep it simple stupid)

• TLDR (Too long, didn’t read)

– Don’t use too much text – things just

get lost

Pitfall #4 – Looks do matter…

Best Practices

Clear fit to concept
