STRATEGIE GRAFICHE PER APPRENDERE MEGLIO
Caratteri tipografici facilmente leggibili
Si usano font semplici, con corpo adeguato.
Si differenzia il testo di lettura da quello delle attività.
Spaziature adeguate
La lunghezza delle frasi e dei paragrafi e l’interlinea sono tali da consentire una lettura fluida.
Uso funzionale di colori e illustrazioni
Le immagini sono a sostegno dei testi. I colori sono usati per evidenziare concetti importanti, guidare l’attenzione o suscitare emozioni.
Struttura della pagina ordinata e lineare
Ogni pagina ha una gerarchia visiva chiara e coerente: titoli ben evidenti; sottotitoli riconoscibili, laddove presenti; riquadri o fondini per informazioni speciali e/o attività.
Equilibrio tra testo e immagini
Le illustrazioni non sovraccaricano la pagina, ma aiutano a capire: si mantiene un equilibrio armonioso che favorisca la lettura e la comprensione, riducendo quindi la distrazione.
