Make your message easier to take in.

A complex product can still have a clear introduction. Good design helps the reader spend their attention on the message.

  1. Give the reader a starting point

    Decide what someone should notice first. Build a hierarchy that leads into supporting detail, rather than making every element equally prominent and forcing it to compete.

  2. Use concrete language

    Explain what words such as visibility or resilience mean in practice. Keep specialist terms when they help, and explain unfamiliar ones when the audience needs support.

  3. Break up the argument

    Give each paragraph one job. Use descriptive headings and space between sections so readers can scan, pause and return without reconstructing the whole argument.

  4. Check the smallest experience

    Review the mobile page, social crop or slide from the audience’s perspective. Check the key message and next step before adding more visual emphasis.

  5. Ask what the reader remembers

    Let someone scan the asset, then put it aside. Ask what they remember. If their answer misses the intended message, simplify the hierarchy and try again.

Try it on one asset

Choose a page your team uses often and clarify its message, structure and next action. Matizmo can help apply that thinking to a document, campaign or presentation, then carry the approach into the wider asset family.
