How should the results notice be designed so as not to be confused?

Is the reason why Steve Harvey misread Miss's name from design?

It can be said now, MC Steve Harvey is becoming the most . "troll" character in the world after the incident of mistaking the crown in the 2015 Miss Universe Final.

The incident later caused a lot of controversy, in which many assumptions were made about why Steve Harvey - a veteran MC, a famous American talkshow owner, could be mistaken.

And recently, John Havel - a rather famous writer of The Hustle, put forward a defense of Steve Harvey. It is a story that comes from the word "design" on the result note - there is too much space.

Result sheet on MC Harvey in HHHV finale.

Still knowing such documents often have to be designed simply and neatly, but above all still need to be fully functional. Especially for a result notice sheet, the most important thing is that the information it brings must be clear. Readers will only care about 3 information: who is the first, who is the second, and who comes back last.

However, the important information takes up too little area on the paper - according to calculations, only . 5.8% of the total area. Even this notice is wrong . spelling (Eliminination => Elimination).

Too small font size has inadvertently prevented readers from receiving information.

In addition, Steve is right-handed, making it easier to miss information.

Holding the result with the right hand may have accidentally covered the information.

So what should design be like to avoid confusion later?

According to Havel, if Steve is mistaken because the font is too small, then probably, the first thing is to increase the font size. Let the important information stand out so no one can ignore it.

Next is the order of the highest award winners. According to Havel, such a arrangement is also appropriate, but why put the highest title down to the right end of the paper? In terms of art, this approach may be more beautiful, but in terms of functionality it is absolutely unnecessary, especially in the context of the inherently "small" font.

And these are the two simplest ways of designing Havel.

This design is very logical, and can ensure that the reader will never be mistaken.

Or a more beautiful choice .

The second option is somewhat more beautiful, but it is clear that the font size and arrangement are much more logical than the original. In addition, the most important information section also accounts for 15% of the total area of ​​paper.
