  of Tasks font is heavy and condensed, as are the
  real-life tasks

  illustrates time and the cyclical nature of our
  tasks
• Space the title leads into the graphic, the
  main element white space focuses the eye

• Alignment Left aligned title leads eye into
  graphic right aligned text at the bottom flows
  down from graphic and doesnt confuse the eye by
  making it immediately jump back to the left.
• Repetition The only repetition is of Tasks
  in the graphic to make the concept clear.
• Proximity While elements are visually
  separated, they are close enough together to
  create one whole visual.

• Figure/Ground The most important information,
  the Rule and the graphic representation of the
  rule (easier to assimilate than text) are large
  and noticeable with white space surrounding them
  to focus the learners attention.
• Hierarchy The main idea, the rule, is followed
  by its visual depiction, followed by a concise
  textual representation to insure that the rule is
  mentally verbalized and understood.
• Gestalt Colors tie the visual together the
  title tells what is to be learned, the graphic
  illustrates the concept in a way it can be easily
  understood, the text reinforces and restates the
  graphic.
