How can you as the designer use principles of design to help compose a page?
Designers use principles of design to help compose a page by using contrast, repetition, alignment and repetition. 
What are the principles of design (define each in your own words)?
The principles of design are the elements in a design to help make the design more appealing to the audience.  For each of the 4 principles of C.R.A.P., find an example that utilizes the principle within the design. You should have 4 DIFFERENT sample designs. For each, discuss how the particular principle is used.
Contrast- this uses black and white to make words pop out. 

Repetition-having the same design is repeated over again.  

Alignment- In this design, the hearts are placed in a neat and uniformed pattern.

Proximity-Each human person, is aligned together to form a whole picture of a tree, so it shows that they are all united together.

Also, answer the following questions in your own words.
