The following links from an open textbook, Technical Writing, offer excellent guidelines on the concepts of proximity, alignment, repetition, and contrast:

• Proximity

Alignment

Repetition

Contrast

You have watched four video tutorials on proximity, alignment, repetition, and contrast.  In addition, in the writing assignments for this class, for your set of instructions and for your quick start guide, you need to apply the concept of proximity so that your graphics are close to the steps they represent.  You also need to apply the concept of alignment so that your graphics and text align. You need to apply the concept of repetition so that your font sizes, font styles, and sizes of your graphics are consistent, just to name a few areas.  You need to apply the concept of contrast to draw the reader’s attention to certain elements.

• In writing assignments #4 and #5, these concepts will be helpful as well as you design your report and your white paper for the audience.
• In this discussion topic, you will apply two of these concepts: alignment and contrast. This discussion topic is designed to help us get started in thinking about the concepts of alignment and contrast.
