Have you made comparisons to those published in magazines?

I'm probably not alone in being able to recognise where a schematic comes from in terms of a publication as they each tend to have specific format/method of drawing. In particular I used to 'like' the way ETI magazine and, more recently, the older editions of Elektor magazine proportioned their drawings (the more recent editions tend to be so complex that scale becomes an issue and magnification is essential).

Personal choice I reckon - there is no defined specification that I know of but simple clarity is basically 'all' that is required.
