Hierarchy

Hierarchy is extremely important in design. No matter what project you are working on, a visual hierarchy is key in creating a successul design. It is used to guide your viewer through your project and help them determine in what order they should view it. Without a clear hierarchy, it would be difficult to determine which pieces of information are most important. Hierarchy can be achieved by playing with size, contrast, proximity, color, etc. Using these elements can help establish importance and priority.
