9th December

Many churches produce Christmas cards that invite people to seasonal services and events and deliver these around the parish. When you design these, think about how readable and accessible they are. You may be doing a lot, but lots of crowded small print is hard to decipher and isn’t really very inviting.

When you design these, think about how readable and accessible they are. You may be doing a lot, but lots of crowded small print is hard to decipher and isn’t really very inviting. Text in ornate fonts printed over graphics or backgrounds with multi colours is difficult for many to make sense of. Make your invitations clear and focus them on 1 or 2 services or events. And include something about your welcome of disabled people. Provide information about any facilities you have – step free access, accessible toilet, hearing loop, large print etc – and include direction to more access information on your website.
