Design Elements<br />

Design elements can include shapes, lines and illustrations. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

elements provide a consistent way to organize communications<br />

materials. <strong>The</strong>y contribute to the overall feel of a piece, whether<br />

it is professional or casual, formal or family-friendly. Curves and<br />

soft lines used throughout our materials keep our layouts playful,<br />

with an element of spontaneity and softness.<br />

Note about clip art: Clip art detracts from the professional image<br />

the medical center wants to portray. <strong>The</strong>refore, when<br />

creating communications materials for <strong>Cincinnati</strong> Children’s,<br />

clip art should not be used as a design element. Photos are<br />

a more powerful element and can be downloaded from<br />

Grids<br />

<strong>The</strong> use of colorful grids in our communications materials<br />

combines our color palette with our photography to bring<br />

emphasis to the most important element in our photos: the<br />

patients we care for. Colors used in the grid complement the<br />

photography while providing space for captions, pull-quotes<br />

and sidebars.<br />
