Text Information
- Text is a simple and flexible format for presenting information or conveying ideas, whether handwritten, printed, or displayed on-screen.
- According to Rouse (2015), text is any "human-readable sequence of characters" that can form intelligible words.
Principles and Elements of Text Design
- Emphasis: importance or value given to a part of the text-based content.
- Appropriateness: how fitting or suitable the text is for a specific audience, purpose, or event.
- Proximity: how near or far text elements are from each other, with closely related elements brought together.
- Alignment: how the text is positioned on the page (left, center, right, or justified).
- Organization: conscious effort to organize different text elements on a page.
- Repetition: consistency of elements and unity of the entire design, achieved by repeating some typefaces within the page.
- Contrast: creates visual interest by making two elements different from each other.

- Formal Information: socially shared and objective, examples include birth certificates, government records, and business documents.
- Informal Information: unsocial, highly opinionated, and subjective, examples include opinions from tabloids and social media, posts, and comments.

- Visual design enhances usability and improves user experience using imagery, color, shapes, typography, and form.
Elements of Visual Design
- Lines: used for stressing words or phrases, connecting content, creating patterns, and more.
- Color: generates emotions, defines importance, creates visual interest, and unifies branding.
- Texture: relates to the surface of an object, adding depth and visual interest to graphic design.
