White paper with black ink is the easiest to read and recycle and is the least expensive. Paper can be a light color, but it must be good quality. Sixty-pound offset paper is most appropriate. Graphic art makes pages less dense, more appealing, and thus more likely to be read. Used sparingly, drawings, inexpensive clip art, photos, lines, and boxes around articles will enhance the copy.
Volunteers can often provide artwork.
Type Size and Style. Make the point size large enough for all ages to read-twelve point is standard. Use strings of capital or italic letters sparingly since they are hard to read. This page was last updated September 25, 1999. There have been 567 accesses to this page since September 25, 1999.
