Designer Dustin Wax says you can bolster your design skills by learning four basic principles: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity--or CRAP. The post focuses on how design affects our day-to-day work, like the readability of the documents we create every day.
None of these principles stands alone. Repetition and alignment together create the "normal" state that allows changing the shape or position of a piece of text to produce contrast; repetition and proximity go hand-in-hand to create useful formats like bulleted lists -- the repetition of the bullet adds force to the proximity of the points.
