Contrast Repetition Alignment Proximity

Headlines and subheads need to be repeated and consistent. Make the look stronger in contrast. The typeface has to be stronger.
If the elements on the page are not the same, them make them very different

CONTRAST BY 3D AND COLOR
IN PHOTOSHOP
If you want to repeat an object like a rectangle Hold down the Alt + shift and it copies and keeps alignment
The longing we have for structure, grids, and ideal proportion is deeply ingrained in human nature. A layout that “doesn’t look quite right” can often be fixed by moving elements and resizing them

Group related items Separate items that are NOT related Nearness in place, order, occurrence or relocation
Creates an organized Designhttp://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/heres-why-contrast-is-an-essential-part-of-e-learning-design/
The principle of proximity calls for related items to be grouped visually, creating less clutter and making for a more organized layout. Items unrelated to each other should be placed further apart, to emphasize their lack
