As many of you know, detailed nutrition education involves lists of foods to "choose" and to "limit." The way that seems most readable and visually organized is bulleted lists that have been chunked into food categories. The layout and design consultant hates this and my boss "doesn't like the way it looks." <<<< I wonder if you can show your design to a group of individuals from your target audience? What you describe sounds perfectly reasonable to me, but your intended audience is the best judge. Also, if you want to email your rough draft to me, I'd be happy to make some design suggestions. I am not "expert" but I have designed many workshop materials and curriculum guides for adult education. Also, there are many nutrition materials published by various organizations- American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, etc. You might want to gather some of those and show examples to your supervisors and ask them to point out what they do like. Finally there is a project out of UMASS Amherst called NIBBLE. I think they would have a lot of good materials for you to refer to.
