Minimalism: The Art of Not Overcomplicating Things
At CometBloopers, we believe that less is more. That's why our style guide for minimalism is all about stripping away the fat and getting down to the bare essentials.
Key Principles
- Use only one font: Arial Black, sans-serif. Anything else is just too fancy.
- Limit your color palette to black, white, and a hint of grey.
- Don't be shy about using white space.
- Forget about images. They're just a distraction from the text.
Best Practices
- Use bold text for headings, even if it's only for emphasis.
- Never, ever use Comic Sans.
- Keep your paragraphs short and to the point. Two sentences max.
- Use only one kind of bullet point: the period at the end of a sentence.
Remember, minimalism is all about stripping away the unnecessary. If it's not serving a purpose, it's going in the trash.
