About this lesson

Good design communicates clearly first and looks nice second. Ask: what is the one thing the viewer must understand or do?

  • Contrast makes important things stand out
  • Repetition creates consistency
  • Alignment creates order
  • Proximity groups related items

Squint at your design. If you cannot tell what matters most, fix the hierarchy.
