Four Basic Principles
• Contrast• Repetition• Alignment• Proximity
![Page 3: CARP Design Principles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c7490f4a795993598b4569/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Proximity
• Group Related Items Together
• Keep space between unrelated items

Bad Proximity Example
What must Mike “The Eye” do to make it around this card?
![Page 5: CARP Design Principles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c7490f4a795993598b4569/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Good Proximity Example
What must Mike “The Eye” do to make it around this card?

Misused Proximity
• None related objects in proximity gain an unwanted relationship
![Page 7: CARP Design Principles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c7490f4a795993598b4569/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Correct Proximity
• Grouping related objects corrects problem

Another Proximity Example
BadEverything close to everything
GoodRelated things in close proximity to each other

Check Your Proximity
• Squint your eyes – Less the 3-5 is good
• Group with purpose

A l g tI e m n
Alignment
• Not just left, right, center, anymore
• Place with purpose
• Visual connections
![Page 11: CARP Design Principles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c7490f4a795993598b4569/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Alignment Example

Right Alignment Example

Center Alignment
• Formal
• Sedate
• Amatuer
• Boring!

Justified text• Spaces letters so they fill the text box
• Hard to use, hard to master
This text is being justified inside a text box. Because of the wording it has all sorts of funny spacing

White Space• Don’t trap white space
![Page 17: CARP Design Principles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c7490f4a795993598b4569/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
White Space• If you have a line use it
![Page 18: CARP Design Principles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c7490f4a795993598b4569/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Summing Up Alignment
• Find the lines and use them
• Stay away from Center
• Everything has a purpose

Color Contrast• 1/8 male colorblind
• I don’t want to “really” look
• Use “Complimentary” Colors

Size Contrast• Differences effect where and how we look
• Big objects demand attention
• Small objects can be overlooked
• Great differences in size can draw extra attention to objects
![Page 25: CARP Design Principles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c7490f4a795993598b4569/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Shape Contrast • Shapes can hide or highlight
• Shapes guide us through the document

Repetition Basics• Repeat formatting/color for related

your pieces together.
