C.R.A.P. Design PrinciplesAdapted from http://bit.ly/sjnw & Robin Williams “Non-Designers Design Book”
+Contrast
Elements that aren’t the same should be very different so they stand out. Making them “slightly different” confuses the user into seeing a relation that doesn’t exist.
+Repetition
Repeat visual elements of the design throughout the piece. You can repeat color, shape, texture, spatial relationships, line thicknesses, sizes, etc. This helps develop the organization and strengthens the unity.
