Lesson 1: Align Everything
Nothing should be arbitrary. Every element should have a visual connection with another.
This drives unity within the design.

Lesson 2: Assert A Clear Hierarchy
Design requires hard choices.
Remember, good design is about clear communication. And clear communication comes from clear thinking.
