Proximity When items are in close proximity, they are grouped together and become a visual unit. Items related to each other should be grouped together Be aware of how your eyes move around the page

Why worry about proximity? Basic purpose is to organize Close proximity implies related information If information is organized, it is more likely to be read and remembered

What to Avoid (as in Don’t do them) Too many separate elements on a page Sticking things in the corners and middle Leave equal amount of white space between elements Creating relationships with elements that don’t belong together

Proximity Assignment Use white 9" x 12" paper as the foundation for your design. Design it in landscape format: with the 12" edge going left-to-right and the 9" edge going top-to-bottom. You can use any of the available materials to complete your ad: markers, colored pencils, crayons, rulers, compasses, colored paper, scissors, glue. Do not cut pictures from magazines. Start your design in pencil so you can make adjustments before you finalize your design. Write the word PROXIMITY in letters at least two inches high somewhere on your poster, so they can be read across the room. The rest of your poster must be arranged like this: FIVE identical shapes/images which are close to each other. THREE identical shapes/images which are close to each other and different from the five mentioned above. Make it colorful. Make it neatly. Take your time.
