Communicating Food for Health's friendly design make its substantial editorial accessible.


Let's get this straight from the beginning-at 12 full pages, plus a 6-page research insert, Communicating Food for Health provides one generous amount of editorial for any newsletter- much less one that costs only $74/year for ten issues. Yet, readability never suffers for all the substantial content.

The 3- and 4-column format is broken up by illustrations, call-outs, sidebars, and white space. Columns are also separated by vertical hairlines. The 2nd color, a mild green, often screened, gives pages depth and variety.

The text typeface The design of a set of printed characters, such as Courier, Helvetica and Times Roman. The terms "typeface" and "font" are used interchangeably, but the typeface is the primary design, while the font is the particular implementation and variation of the typeface, such as bold or italics  itself, Electra, also greatly facilitates the newsletter's accessibility Editor Judy Doherty says, "This font font

Beth Doherty also created the nameplate typeface, CFFH Sans Semi-light. Judy Doherty says, "She wanted a sans typeface that had a hook on Verb 1. hook on - adopt; "take up new ideas"

The newsletter nicely fulfills the publisher's stated design challenge: "Make it look professional while being fun and interesting for handouts."

Doherty says, "This publication brings health professionals news they can use to keep themselves and their clients up to date with diet and disease topics. Many pages are copy-ready and subscribers are allowed to copy them for educational purposes or use the information in their own publications."

There's a lot going on in Communicating Food for Health, both editorially and graphically. The judges were unanimous in awarding it the 1999 Gold Award in the Newsletter Awards Competition, in the subscription newsletter category. But the most important judges are the readers-of which Judy Doherty says, "Our readers are very happy with this publication and tell us so over and over. It has an excellent renewal rate."
