Repetition

The main principle of repetition states that you"Repeat some aspect of the design throughout the entire piece. The element of repetition can be anything such as font, color, format, spacing,etc.

• Repetition is like consistency, if you stay consistent throughout your work it will look more professional, cohesive and be easy to understand.
• using bold font for the most important pieces of information is a very good use of repetition. The bold font attracts the eye and knows the key points of the item.
• Headings are also written in bold to show their importance. It shows they are the key points or main ideas.
• If you use things like headers or certain types of lines on your page make sure u use them throughout your piece of work.
• If you use many different types of bullet points the observer will be confused. Use the same type of bullet point all the time for a good look.
• For small details of a certain thing use the same font. it should be smaller than the font of the heading. Then the observer knows the difference between key points and small details.
• Use the same type of indent to make sure your work is clear and simplified so he eye concentrates on the important things instead of the type of bullet points and etc.
• Use repetition to show the reader the importance of each item on the page. The more important the item the bigger or bolder it should be.
