Design Tip of the Month

Use guides and measurements. They are there for a reason. And now it's even easier in CS5 because they've made them smart. You don't even have to figure out the exact inch or pixel needed to align something. The software takes a guess and snaps it to the most obvious aligned element. It's so easy, and alignments and margins are what make a design clean. So pay attention to them. Even an extra 5 minutes of scrutinizing these elements will clean up the best designs.
