Specifications for NPS Films Production Credits General guidelines:

· No rolling credits.

· No contractor company logos.

· Use a sans-serif font that are a consistent thickness, and not too thin (such as Frutiger or Arial).

· Formatting text by changing the weight or using capitalization can make it easier to absorb the credits. If doing this, use the smaller, thinner, and/or capitalized version for the titles, and the more legible larger, bolder, and/or standard caps formatting for the names.

· Simple credits can be centered (GEGR example, pg 4). More complex credits also generally benefit from a justification that organizes the information (JECA example, pg 4)

· For readability, use a color that is not 100% white.

· Visuals can appear on the screen with the type, but the type should generally not be placed over the visuals.
