Alignment

NOTHING SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE PAGE ARBITRARILY.

  • Every element should have some visual connection with other elements on the page. 
  • Unity is an important concept in design. 
  • Even if the separate element are not close, they can still appear to be connected by alignment. 
  • The purpose of alignment is to unify and organize the page. 
  • A strong alignment creates a sophisticated, formal, fun or a serious look. 
  • Find elements to align with each other, even if they are physically far away from each other. 
  • Try not to have a centered alignment, unless you want to have a very formal piece of design.
