Word Design

Basic Principles

  • Proximity- When writing it is important for me to remember how i place things. I need to group similar items together and those that are different should be separated.

  • Aligment- The way I am currently setting up this page is a nice way to use alignment. If i just typed this all in one paragraph the important points would be held within the text. Since I put the principles on the far right in front of the reading it can catch a readers attention.

  • Repetition- All of the principles are in bold, which makes it clear what exactly the principles are. If I only put two of them in bold it would not be so clear to the reader what points I want them to catch. The same holds true for the use of my bullets.

  • Contrast- I think the only real contrast to this writing is the my title being a different then the rest.  

I always read things in a hurry, even if I read it twice, so there is always something I miss or don’t fully understand. After class today I am sure that I will have more to say about these principles to design.
