- 1. A design principle: place related items close together and unrelated items further apart, so users see the groups clearly. Eg group name fields, then leave space before the next group. (9)
- 2. ______ is using information and experience to make good decisions. It is the top step of the DIKW pyramid, above data and information, and it needs context to work. (6)
- 6. ______ is when the elements of a design, such as colours, shapes and style, work together so the visual feels unified and pleasing rather than clashing. (7)
- 7. The look or feel of a surface, shown with patterns or fills, used to add depth or tell areas apart. It can be real (felt by touch) or simulated (only looks textured on screen). (7)
- 8. The appearance of a three-dimensional object, or the illusion of depth on a flat screen, created using shading and perspective. (4)

- 1. The relationship in size between the parts of a design and the whole, such as how large one element is compared with the others around it. (10)
- 3. A flat, enclosed area with a clear edge, like a button or panel, that groups or highlights content. Shapes can be geometric (circles, squares) or organic (free-form). (5)
- 4. The overall size of an element compared with a reference, such as other elements or the page. Enlarging or reducing it shows importance, so bigger elements draw the eye first. (5)
- 5. A mark that connects points. It guides the eye, divides space or shows structure, and can be straight, curved, thick or thin, as in borders and dividers. (4)
- 7. ______ is how light or dark an area is. Designers use it to create contrast, depth and emphasis, for example light text on a dark background, or a greyscale shade to show importance. (4)
