Techniques such as, [similarity](notes/law-of-similarity.md), [grouping](notes/grouping.md) and (to a lesser extent) [closure](notes/law-of-closure.md), can be used to organise and groupu our interfaces. Often the grouping and layout is done before the rest of the design.

This is relatively easy. However, when done badly it can quickly confuse the user.

**Summary**
|
|
- alignment guides the eye and reduces clutter
|
|
- avoid slight misalignments that undermine your ability to beacon organisation
|
|
- we automatically notice patterns and deviations
|
|
- when you deviate do so strategically
|
|
- use visual proximity and scale to convey semantic information

# Jan Tschichold and Bauhaus
|
|
There was a sudden change from the right images to the left. This was partly due to advances in technology. This change was made by the Bauhaus group/school which became a way of thinking. Their ideas were inspired by architecture. The style was simple, functional, well grouped. These elements are also present in their visual design.
