In-Depth Information
to signal a change in information allows the reader to understand such changes while
maintaining visual unity and more clearly creating interrelationships within the content.
In the first version (left) of a composition, informational components are distinguished through
radically different treatments. While this makes for very clear recognition of the hierarchic ele-
ments, nothing unifies them stylistically—each element has its own quality. In the second version,
the treatments are stylistically related—through proportion, style, weight, spacing, rhythm, and so
on—without losing the basic visual qualities that helped distinguish the type elements in the first
place.
