Visual Hierarchy
A hierarchy is an arrangement of items (objects,
names, values, categories, etc.) in which the items
are represented as being "above," "below," or "at the
same level as" one another.

Hierarchy with Type and Image
1. Create an order through emphasizing elements in
your design, 1 should lead, others should follow
2. Avoid groupings of elements with the same
visual weight
3. Work toward a smooth integration, where type and
image are united rather than separate
