2. Using a few site images and supporting texts help the presentation.
3. Using the Two-Thirds rule helps to drag the focus on the intersection of the boxes.
4. Avoid borders to the images that need to be placed as tiles. If in case orders cannot be avoided; they orders should be thin, light or gray in color.
5. Serif Fonts such as Times New Roman should be avoided and San Serif Fonts such as Arial, Helvatica should be used instead.
6. 50% white space rule should always be followed in order to avoid chaotic sheets of presentation.
