1. Improves Readability and Legibility

Visual hierarchy ensures that content is readable and comprehensible by the viewer. The elements are presented in a sequence of importance, where the key message is highlighted while the supporting content is secondary.

• Example: Using large, bold fonts for headlines and smaller fonts for body text separates the main message from the supporting content.

2. Controls Viewer Attention

Visual hierarchy guides the viewer to what parts of the design are the most important so that they would look at the very important parts first.

Methods Employed:

• Size-darker objects take up more space.

• Color-high contrast or bright colors draw to it.

• Placement-things placed at the top or in the center tend to draw the eye first.

3. Adds Emotional Resonance

Ellicit the right kind of emotional response and allows the designer to bond better with the audience.

• Example: High contrast image in conjunction with simple text can build drama and, at the same time, is able to drive a message.

4. Enhance User Experience

Visual hierarchy supports the navigation flow of a webpage or application easily. It promotes usability by focusing essential elements such as buttons, menu, or Calls to Action(CTA).

• Example : A "Sign Up" button, designed with an eye-catching colour and placed on an easy-to-be-seen space on the page attracts more clicks.

5. Supports Brand Messaging

A clear hierarchy helps to enforce brand identity because visuals will align with the brand's tone and style.

• Example: luxury brands are full of white space, elegant typography, and muted colors that exude class and quality

6. Adds Aesthetic Appeal

It contributes to a higher aesthetic of overall design by establishing balance and harmony. It prevents any element from feeling misaligned or vying for attention in a way that is unnecessary.

• Typography: Importance is given with bold and large fonts.

• Color: High contrast and strategic use of colors attract attention.

• Size: Larger elements appear more dominant.

• Spacing: Proper spacing creates separation and focus.

• Alignment: Proper alignment ensures a clean, organized look.
