    This website was interesting because it breaks down the process of designing a flyer into simple steps. Flyers were used as models for graphic design on pages 16 and 17 of Lisa Graham's Basics of Design Layout & Typography for Beginners: Second Edition.

  • The essential idea of alignment is mind numbingly simple: to line things up.
  • For some reason, centering items on the page just seems like what you’re supposed to do.
  • Notice that suddenly the elements on the page seem scattered
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The problems here can be hard for many people to spot. For this reason, I always recommend simplifying a design to examine the basic shapes. You’ll see me do this in several of the articles I write on design and you should definitely try it out on a few of your own designs.
  • Left alignments, though arguably boring, are rock solid and should be your default, go-to alignment for much of the work you do.
  • Often, though not always, a right alignment will convey a sense of uniqueness. If you’re designing something that needs to stand out and feel different, a right alignment is a great place to start.

    This website provides a step-by-step guide in explaining the art of typography.  It even includes a typography glossary to familiarize readers with the jargon of the technique in designing.

    This was my favorite of all the sites I found that related to the content of chapter two. The site's main focus was on the use of visual hierarchy in web design. The use of visual hierarchy has the power to improve the amount of content and information the reader actually views and absorbs on a page. With the correct use of hierarchy you can almost control what is viewed and the path that is read. According to this article position, size, color, and visual complexity are the different parts of visual hierarchy. If these different principles of visual hierarchy are applied correctly one can create the optimal page for steering their readers attention to wherever they would like.
