Card #39

Proximity

Things that are close to one another are perceived to be more related than things that are spaced farther apart.

How might this apply to the Web?

Use proximity to create logical groupings. If an image goes with a piece of text, then those two elements should be close together and distanced from other pairings. Similarly, related elements on a form page or dashboard should be clustered together. Examine your content to see which items should be grouped for more clarity.
