Before starting today's article, we must reach a consensus that face is justice.
No one has the obligation to dig out your good heart through your ugly appearance. Similarly, no one has the obligation to pay attention to your public account through hot eye typesetting.
It is said that "content is king". Is typesetting important?
Content itself is always the most important factor in the creation process, but how to make people have a better reading experience is also a problem that we media people in the era of electronic reading must consider.
1. Good reading experience
Good presentation can make readers more focused on the content, and the content is easier to be accepted and understood;The poor presentation will drive away many potential readers, resulting in a waste of information.
2. Create brand image
Image and text content is the core product of the public account, and also the first vision of the public account to users.The visual experience presented by the image and text typesetting has a great impact on the user's perception of the public account brand image.
3. Give people a hint of "excellent content"
A beautiful layout can give users a hint of "excellent content", while a bad layout will make users bored.
