How do I make the plot generated marker more noticeable?

I have the coordinate indicating the start of each letter within a word. I have set the plot function to make a red circle at that coordinate like so:

enter image description here

The problem is that the paper I am adding this image to has a structure of 2 columns per page. And when I add 2 of the above image to the same column, the circles become very small and difficult to notice.

I tried instead of circles to make triangles or pentagrams. I get the same result, they become too small to distinguish.

How can I make this more distinguishable? Especially when its printed in black and white.

You can change the marker size of the markers, and\or overlay two different markers one of the other. For example:

x=1:100;
y=rand(1,100);
plot(x,y); hold on
n=20:20:60;
plot(x(n),y(n),'r+','MarkerSize',30,'LineWidth',2);
plot(x(n),y(n),'ro','MarkerSize',15,'LineWidth',2);

enter image description here

There are many other degrees of freedom you can use to add \ change to this. It is a very basic question that you could have answered yourself if you read the documentation of plot in TMW website.
