[Framers] Question about differentiating heading levels

[Michael Lewis]

Trouble with many commercial designs is that "design" outweighs 
communication. So many graphic designers focus on "what looks nice" 
rather than "what works to promote the purpose of the document". 
Granted, that's at best a failure in the training of such designers, but 
it does constitute a warning that "best practise" isn't always "best 
practise".

For those of us who aren't (such as me), I've often found it useful to look for suitable commercial designs and then emulate them. I don't mean copy, but extract the underlying principles. Your eye will tell you what looks right and what look weird.
