Who are the intended readers? How and where they will use the
publications? What is the intended lifespan of the
publication? How much information must be
communicated? How much is the budget?

Give a clear reading path. Divide the lines into columns. Keep the design simple. Make an eye catching nameplate or
cover. Make sure that each page has a focus
using a dominant head. Put important material on top, less
important at the bottom.

BALANCE› Balance is an equilibrium that results from
looking at images and judging them against our ideas of physical structure (such as mass, gravity or the sides of a page). It is the arrangement of the objects in a given design as it relates to their visual weight within a composition. Balance usually comes in two forms: symmetrical and asymmetrical.

Most designs can be made more interesting by visually dividing the page into thirds vertically and/or horizontally and placing our most important elements within those thirds.

Repetition acts as a visual key that ties your piece together--in other words, it unifies it. Repetition controls the reader's eye and helps you keep their attention on the piece as long as possible.

White space is nothing. White space is the absence of text and graphics. It breaks up text and graphics. It provides visual breathing room for the eye. Add white space to make a page less cramped, confusing, or overwhelming.
Use grids in layouting. White space is any color.

Dominance relates to varying degrees of emphasis in design. It determines the visual weight of a composition, establishes space and perspective, and often resolves where the eye goes first when looking at a design. There are three stages of dominance, each relating to the weight of a particular object within a composition.
