Hello. I am trying to format a report and trying to make it look: * formal * emphasized and being important * formal but not stiff (in fact, the report is about not to be stiff). I am thinking I could do so by: Using emphasized and very big font size for titles, like in the foreword <http://www.zhangweiwu.name/till0906/200806-foreword.pdf> (see last 2 pages) Using large page margin at the bottom and outside, like in "summary" <http://www.zhangweiwu.name/till0906/200806-summary.pdf> (see last 2 pages) Using a single red line to add variants to the text layout and use a border to include list of actions suggested: <http://www.zhangweiwu.name/till0906/200806-goals-and-tasks.pdf> (see last 2 pages) I am pretty new to design layouts. My question: a. how do you feel about these layouts and do they present what I want to present? b. how can I improve these layouts to better reach the goal (feels bold, formal, luxurious and different, which is exactly the feel of the report text itself)? Especially the single red line I added wishing to add variants, looks not good to me because it looks as if the final publication was not properly cut; Note that I can only use 2 colors (red and black) and only one typeface, for other technical reasons. Thanks in advance!
