[| Visual organization: Luke W] "Visual organization. (www.lukew.com/resources/articles/visible_narratives.html) is the deliberate prioritization of meaning within a visual design. It’s the process of applying the principles behind perception–how we make sense of what we see- to illuminate relationships between content and actions. Through applications of visual contrast, designers can communicate the steps required to complete a task, the relationships between information, or the hierarchy between interface elements.

It essentially tells people how to use things. Personality, on the other hand, tends to focus on why."
