The principles of design tell a designer the best ways to create and arrange a page. The first principle is balance. Balance is the even layout or uneven layout of things on a page. More attention can be given to certain items depending on their layout. Next are consistency and repetition. These two principles keep the page looking familiar. This allows things to be easy to locate, and it is not all random. There is also contrast. Contrast brings attention to something because it looks different than the rest of the items on the page. Emphasis is another principle. One way emphasis may be accomplished is by making a word bold. This allows the word to stand out and look important. The last principle is proximity. Proximity deals with the distance of items on the page and where they in relation to each other. All of these items make up the principles of design.
