[|Link to proximity]

Here are some visuals for Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity...Please use them when attempting to chose your examples. There is much more explanation on each of these in the links above!!!

Contrast is depicted here with the headline being backed in black. Also the headings are in bold, large font while the subheadings are bold, but smaller. Contrast means that things look very different from one another. This could also be done with color. Contrast helps to set things apart from one another and helps organize things.

Repetition is the repeating of a font, color, or heading in a published piece. It gives the reader help in organizing and relating the material.



Alignment: You can align your work to the left, right, or the center of the paper. This helps readers to process what is happening in the paper.



Proximity: This is the placement of things that go together near to one another on the printed page. Look at the examples of the two lists below and think about which is easier to read!
