Hint:An easy way to remember all four design principles is Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity or CRAP

Proximity

Contrast is using two elements that are different

If two items are similar they will conflict. If they are different, they contrast.

To do it: Avoid similar colors like black and brown. Use blacks and whites, or one light and one dark.

Alignment creates a visual connection

Alignment can connect separate elements.

To do it: Avoid centering text,

instead try aligning to the left or right.

Create an invisible line with text and images.
