3 tips to know about DTP
1. Be consistent
Consistency creates trust. What does this mean?
Create a standard that specifies everything from font type and size to color to header and footer information and so on. Anytime you change the font or the color of something, the audience perceives it right away as a change in meaning. What your client sees is unprofessionalism and they miss your message.
2. Allow flexibility with images and graphics
When deciding on the graphics and images for your design layout, we recommend you stick to more universal ones rather than going extra specific. For example, you want to add people’s faces in the layout, ask yourself whether every culture will relate to them? Make sure your choices are either universal or not culturally specific.
3. Hire professional
DTP requires a specific skill set and a professional eye for design. Professional language companies have expert teams able to work around the clock.
It’s a great risk when your design team takes on a layout project in a language that they do not understand. Working with a professional that employs experts in desktop publishers is the best way to ensure that the translation you invested in is best presented to your target audiences.
