Design Principles
Great design isn't random — it follows proven principles.
The Core Principles
1. Contrast
Make elements stand out by using differences in color, size, or weight.
2. Repetition
Create consistency by reusing visual elements throughout your design.
3. Alignment
Nothing should be placed arbitrarily — every element should connect visually.
4. Proximity
Group related items together to create organization and reduce clutter.
