Design+Principles

=**Design Principles**= **The four design principles are found in the acronym CRAP, which I will never forget!**


 * __C__ontrast-** The eye-catching method of using type, color, size, line-thickness, space,etc. which makes the reader want to read what you have written.
 * __R__epitition-** The repitition of visual elements in a piece that organizes and strengthens it.
 * __A__lignment-** The ability to create a visual connection between every element of the page.
 * __P__roximity-** The grouping of items which are related to each other. ( R., Williams, //The Non-Designer's Design Book,// Peachpit Press, Second Edition, Page 13)


 * Fonts-** The author of our text, R. Williams, recommends that we eliminate //Times Roman,////Ariel/Helvetica,// and //Sand// from our font choices. Williams recommends that we use a sans serif typeface for the headlines of a document and an oldstyle serif face for the body of a text. Williams also states that one should never use more than two font types in one document, one for the headers and one for the text.

This is fun!

 This is my original parent newsletter.

This is my updated parent newsletter. I used the design principles to be more consistent in my alignment. I used text boxes, a different text style, borders and pictures to jazz it up. I put my pictures closer to the text in which they were referred. I repeated my text box pattern to better catch the eye.
