Yet ANOTHER interesting concept of design that many overlook although we see these items everyday. Coupons undergo a simple routine process while being designed. This tutorial shows a basic design for an electronic store, but also shows the elements necessary for grabbing attention in the simplest of forms. Although this is intended for beginners, the same concepts apply to any skill level of coupon design. Here are some of the basic steps:

• Add a stroke around the boarder of the coupon with a dashed line to indicate that this coupon should be cut out and presented at the store.
• Include an image of the product or service the consumer is saving on.
• Use exciting, exploding shapes to emphasize the deal being advertised.
• Include the discount percentage, the retail price, and the potential savings.
• Include company name and sometimes the address
