[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3014404, member: 19165"]Blocks of text should be avoided. Limit any text in an infograph like this to a simple sentence or two, at most. With a thing like this, why not use an actual picture instead of this line drawing? Faded to a certain degree as a background, it would be a much better backdrop than whatever simplified engineers drawings you're using (get rid of the suspension towers... nobody cares). I like the idea of multicolored font, but it needs to be done with a purpose. I think if you had an actual photograph of the bridge, you can match the text color to the picture. I like the idea of a map on the pamphlet, but you don't need 25 points identified.... some sort of simplified version of that would be better. And why the heck is there some random bear on the coin? We can all understand the importance of the bridge, but is the bear some sort of special symbol to somebody involved with this coin? I'm pretty sure there's no bears in San Fran, unless they're in a zoo. If I were to vote for strictly one of the options presented, I'd pick #2. More interesting layout, better information, better pictures. It's just too busy. Overall, its an interesting idea and a decent start, but there are areas to make it better.[/QUOTE]
