Canon

Today I looked into canons which is Principles of page layout design used to measure and describe proportions, margins and print areas. It is basically the rules of graphic design when using grids and balance. I think proximity and the distance between the elements can be important depending on what type of publication you are creating. The same goes for consistency for example a newspaper needs a grid system, balance and consistency for it to be easy for the reader. I would use canon when creating

a publication such as this because the design has a clear meaning
and does its job well. However some types of canon I am not sure works such as the idea behind Fibonacci & Golden Ratio. It can be affective in certain design however it does not have to be used to create a good piece of graphic design. When creating my publication if I decide to make an informative piece of design I will use a type of canon to make it easier for the reader, however if I am creating something else I will not use canon in my design decisions. However I always think it is important to consider proximity/unity , alignment and repetition/consistency.
