  4. Contrast • Avoid elements on the page that are merely similar • If not the same, make them very different • Type, color, size, line thickness, shape, space, etc • Often the most important visual attraction

  5. Repetition • Repeat visual elements on the page • Repeat: • Color, shape, texture, spatial relationships, line thicknesses, sizes • This is a huge help for organization • Strengthens unity

  6. Alignment • Nothing is on the page arbitrarily • Every element has some visual connection to something else • Create a clean, sophisticated look

  7. Proximity • Items related to each other should be grouped together • This creates one visual unit • Organizes information, reduces clutter
