The principles

  • 1 Size — the biggest element is read first. Make the headline number huge.
  • 2 Weight & contrast — bold, dark, or coloured beats thin, light, grey.
  • 3 One hero — pick the single most important thing and let it dominate.
One hero metric, three supporting — clear priority.
Avoid· Flat & equal

12 equal tiles — nothing is the headline.

Better· Clear hierarchy

One hero, three supporting. You know where to look.
