7 design principles in designing a text
- emphasis
- appropriateness
- proximity
- alignment
- organization
- repetition
- contrast
refers to the importance or value given to a part of the text-based content
emphasis
refers to how fitting or suitable the text is used for a specific audience, purpose or event.
appropriateness
refers to how near or how far are the text elements from each other. When two things are closely related, we bring them close together
proximity
refers to how the text is positioned in the page. This can be left, right, center or justified
alignment
refers to a conscious effort to organize the different text elements in a page. Organization ensures that while some text elements are separated from each other they are still somehow connected with the rest of the elements in the page
organization
concerns consistency of elements and the unity of the entire design. This encourages the use of repeating some typefaces within the page
repetition
creates visual interest to text elements. It is achieved when two elements are different from each other
contrast
materials, programs, applications and the like that teachers and students use to formulate new information to aid learning through the use, analysis, evaluation and production of visual images
visual information and media

value
the way a surface feels or is perceived to feel. It can be added to attract or repel interest to a visual element

color
a figure having volume and thickness. An illusion of a 3-dimensional object can be implied with the use of light and shading

8 visual design principles
- consistency

- balance
- harmony

- rhythm
- perspective
– an area that first attracts attention in a composition. This area is more important when compared to the other objects or elements in a composition
center of interest
a feeling of visual equality in shape, form, value, color, etc
balance
– brings together a composition with similar units
harmony
– offers some change in value creating a visual discord in a composition. It shows the difference between shapes and can be used as a background to bring objects out and forward in a design
contrast
– a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position
directional movement
a movement in which some elements recur regularly. Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music
