Guerrillas know when to whisper, when to shout.

They use design to help readers separaterepparttar important ideas fromrepparttar 120371 supportive facts. They userepparttar 120372 tools of emphasis to make their message’s information hierarchy instantly recognizable.

-Fifth Commandment: Simplicity

Guerrillas design to Simplify.

Guerrilla Marketing Designers recognize that readers quickly can lose interest when reading extended text, like articles, memos, newsletters or proposals. Accordingly, Guerrillas maintain reader interest by breaking information into manageable, bite-sized chunks using techniques like segues, subheads, lists and sidebars.

Simplicity also involves restraint. Guerrilla Marketers recognize that “less is more” when it comes to emphasis. They exercise extreme discretion before making typeface, type size, type style or color choices.

Guerrillas recognize that one outstanding photograph communicates more than three average photographs.

-Sixth Commandment: Instant Communication

Guerrilla Marketing Design is visual.

Guerrillas strive to replace words and sentences with story-telling visuals. These include charts, graphs, lists, organization charts, tables and timelines that communicate at a glance.

Guerrillas use visuals to quickly communicate comparisons, relationships and sequence.

Guerrillas understand that design is not a mystery, nor is it a cure-all.
