Page 3: Alignment Review
- Be conscious about every element you place on the page.
- To keep the entire page unified, align every object with an edge of some other object.
- If your alignments are str ng, then you can choose to break an alignment occasionally and it won't look like a mistake.
Even though the author's name is far from the title, there is a visual connection between the two elements because of the alignment to each other.
The example on the previous page is also aligned - a centered alignment. As you can see, though, a flush left or flush right alignment (as shown above) gives a stronger edge, a stronger line for your eye to follow.
A flush left or flush right alignment often tends to import a more sophisticated look than does a centered alignment.
