Info on Alignment

Raquel Abdool


Alignment

Alignment is used to create links between different visual elements. It quickly chows viewers the relationships between the objects. It works by visually associating elements (when you see elements aligned you think they share a common property).

Ex. Paragraphs, images, buttons

Alignment and the properties of alignment would be important if you want the user to understand what you’re showing quickly, especially if there are many different elements, like in a website.

For example, objects on the top and left side are visually stronger than aligning them on the right and bottom of the page.
