I couldn't agree with you more about fonts! I'm always paranoid about legibility and will scale down an ad as I'm working on it to make sure the font isn't too small. The color scheme of an ad is important, too, I think, since it can affect the overall feel, and even help with building a cohesive brand...Heather R.
