Avoid elements on a page that are merely similar

Type, color, size, line, thickness, shape, space
This is good contrast

Elements that should be repeated:
colors, shapes, textures, spatial relationships, line thicknesses, fonts, sizes, graphic concepts
This is good repetition:

I love tacos
I love juice
This is bad repetition:
My mom is the best
She’s nice
She’s pretty

Items relating to each other should be grouped close together
This helps organize information, reduces clutter, and give the reader a clear structure

Story 1
Topic 2
Story 2
This is bad proximity:
Topic 1
Story 1
Topic 2
Story 2
