Why do you think the CRAP Principles are important in design?
Robin Willliam’s overall points out the CRAP principles as the basic way to become and produce first time graphic and layout designs. They are obvious techniques that most people could point out but the way that Williams describes them makes it seem that much simpler to a first timers. Williams seems to know that a lot of people out there are intimidated by design software’s and programs and it tends to stop them in their creative path, but the CRAP principles can direct a user even in word or an art program. In a simple word document you can incorporate the same techniques of repetition, eye lines, proximity, alignment, and contrast. To a lot of people simpler layouts are always more appealing and a lot of the time more successful in the audience they are reaching, the CRAP principles do just this. Plain and simple to assist any user.
