Improved Example
AlignmentEvery item should have a visual connection with something else.
Related information should be togetherConsider right or left justifying or centeringUse both margins for balance on a page
For Example:
What is the “Digital Age”It is also called the Information
Age,Information Era or the Computer Age Most experts define the Digital Age
as the period of time when human beings first had the ability to freely
transfer and gather information.
