Individual skill

hierarchy

Use this skill whenever a design has more than one element competing for the viewer's attention — which is essentially every design. Trigger when laying out a screen, page, slide, poster, dashboard, or any composition where you must decide what gets seen first, what supports it, and what recedes. Trigger when reviewing a design and the user says "everything looks the same," "I don't know where to look," "the page feels flat," or "what's the most important thing here?" Trigger when picking type sizes, when deciding which actions to emphasize among many, or when an MVP screen has gone from one button to ten and the screen has lost its focal point. Hierarchy is the most decisive visual principle; this skill teaches how to construct it deliberately, and routes to sub-aspect skills for typographic, spatial, and color/tone hierarchy.
