Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    The focal point is the center of interest in a layout, and it is the location to which your eye is drawn first.

  • 2

    White space refers to quiet areas that give other elements room to breathe, allowing viewers to focus on the important parts of the layout.

  • 3

    Hierarchy means giving priority to the most important elements, ensuring that the user knows where they are and is led on a clear journey through the design.
