We have some mission statements and vision/mission statements to do for corporate offices nearby... Should the lines of copy be justified left? Center? Are there any rules? The copy will be printed,matted and framed... Any ideas?

Center the "heading", left justify the main body of copy for easier reading, indenting the first line 3 or 4 spaces.

Michael,
You can also use those oversize capitals at the beginnings of the paragraphs,or the first paragraph. I can't remember the name for this in printer-ese. Also, I usually use a serifed letter for body copy to make it read easier.

Brad, Even though this probably will be effective... I like those cute big letters up front about as well as creating a logo by making the first and last letters of a name larger...It's overdone...I don't like it... Well Ole Paint....with a response like that...I am afraid I am going to have to sue you...I will call the lawyer in the morning..just to see on what grounds I can do so..innocent?...Maybe so...I'm still gonna vote for you...what ever the office!

"I am Right, and God is on MY side!!" Remain centered while repeating this phrase. Further justification is not usually needed. Be aware that the other guy may also feel justified. -Shon

Ive usually found that if you really want it bad enough you'll find a way to justify it.
