Here are some of the visual design concepts discussed in the Kostelnick / Roberts book, Designing Visual Language.
- figure ground contrast
- text arrangement
- noisy typeface
- excessive number of typefaces
- noisy / interfering background
- noisy chart or graph
- arrangement of information by lines
- arrangement of information by shading
- arrangement of information by grouping (white space)
- grouping by color / shape / proximity?
