  2. CRAP Principles in Visual Design

  3. Alignment • Key idea: Nothing should be placed on the page arbitrarily. Every item should have a visual connection with something else on the page. • Strong alignment helps guide the user's eye, making the page easier to browse and drawing the eye to the most important parts of the page.  • According to Williams: • center alignment tends to look formal and can sometimes look dull or "mushy" • strong left or strong right alignment looks more professional and clean

  7. Contrast

  8. Contrast Contrast makes a page more interesting and readable Key idea: • If two items are not exactly the same, make them different, really different. • Shape, font face, size, weight, texture, line, spacing, color, etc.

  18. Repetition • Key idea: REPEAT some aspect of the design throughout the entire piece. • Repetition of visual elements throughout the design unifies and strengthens it by tying together otherwise separate parts.
