CRAP Questions
1. I have recently completed the visual design of a professional website, after working on the site for about 6 months no-one was ever completely satisfied with the look of the site until the number of colours and text types used were limited and unified across most pages. This seemed to be a very effective way to make a much higher quality piece of design. Are there many other ways of using repetition that can drastically improve the quality of design?
2. Alignment - during the slideshow presentation it makes a point of saying that good design should be aligned, it also makes a point of showing that left or right alignment is good, but for an item to be centralised is not good design. I understand the theory but surely on occasion having text centred as opposed to being justified to one side of the screen can have a better impact on an image and the message it portrays?

Repetition. Hopefully some of the ideas about what elements are repeated can help the design
alignment- you are absolutely correct. These suggestions are discussion points rather than absolutes
