__Design Principles  - __
> Elements that aren’t the same should be very different so they stand out, making them “slightly different” confuses the user into seeing a relation that doesn’t exist. Strong contrast between page elements allows the user’s eye to flow from one to another down the page instead of creating a sea of similarity that’s boring and not communicative. > Repeat styles down the page for a cohesive feel â€” if you style related elements the same way in one area, continue that trend for other areas for consistency. > Everything on the page needs to be visually connected to something else, nothing should be out of place or distinct from all other design elements. > Proximity creates related meaning: elements that are related should be grouped together, whereas separate design elements should have enough space in between to communicate they are different.

__ Identifying Font Families and the Rules of Use (Serif and San Serif) - __
**Serif Fonts** - Serifs are semi-structural details on the ends of some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols. They tend to look more old fashioned and can be a bit harder to read in small type than serif fonts. Examples of Serif fonts are Times New Roman and Baskerville. It is widely accepted that the main titles in a newsletter or paper should be in a Serif style font.

**San Serif Fonts ** - If Serif fonts have the small structural detail then it is quite obvious that //san// serif would be font without the structure supports. They are widely considered easier to read.in the body of a newsletter or paper.

__How I used the Design Principles in my Profile Page__
- Repetition was the principle that I used the most on my Profile Page assignment. My main design was a cluster of different boxes that would assist your eye in traveling around the paper. I chose the color orange because it is a vivid color that draws the eye in. To utilize the most contrast from my color choice I placed it on a white background with black outlines around the outside of the boxes. The large solid orange square draws the eye then the orange titles draw the eye out and around the page. The alignment that I utilized was more symmetrical than not. All the major elements were pretty evenly spaced around the outside of the central orange square.
