Discussion: What should the title page look like?

To some extent, this is a matter of personal style. However, there are some general guidelines to follow:

1. Use only one or two fonts. More than two can be confusing to read.

2. Use a clear font that is easy to read.

3. Keep it simple. Too many words or pictures can have a distracting or confusing effect.

4. Keeping all of the lines starting on either the left or right margin is easier to read and creates a stronger visual impression than centered text or random placement. The first example shows the text lined up on the left margin and the second shows the text lined up on the right margin.

5. If you would like to add a graphic (picture), use one that doesn't overpower the text because it is too big, or so small that it isn't clear. Or, you could do a large background graphic in a lighter coloured ink. That would also be attractive and appropriate. Just make sure there is contrast between the background and the words so that the words are readable.
