First concept of Business Model Canvas
This is the initial mockup of the design we'd like to share (with the letter of invitation and a descriptive brochure) to provide an overview of the OERu business model. Would love your feedback on the design (disregard the copy - this will be updated later)
Thanks Jason,
I do like the visual impact of the inverted colour scheme (white text on coloured background) - I think it displays well on a large monitor. The colour selections are fresh and inviting and the document as professional and business like feel.
However, I'm concerned about the readability of the inverted colour scheme for the body text. There is quite a bit of text in the boxes and its harder to read than black text on a light background. I'm wondering if its possible or advisable to have a "print version" which doesn't use white text on a coloured background.
This is not my area of expertise - but a cursory web search on accessibility and readability of inverted colour schemes suggests that the majority opinion advises against this approach. Just putting this out there - I do like the inverted colours, but readability is paramount because typically this documents would be printed out for discussions at meetings.
This is very doable - and it would save on ink coverage as well. We can do colour borders and colour titles. We'd like to finalize the content before updating the design to minimize the number of revisions. I'm sending over a word doc with the updated canvas, as googledocs isn't wonderful for multi-part tables.
