The book attempts to explain principles that govern the creation of Visual Order (hierarchy). Visual Order is addressed in the context of relationships between elements which coexist in a two-dimensional space. The objective is to internalize an experience by creating Visual Order; a planned arrangement which allows perception of the desired meaning.
When one meditates, one experiences meditation for the self. This experience of meditation can only be told to someone with the help of an analogy. If someone has to experience the experience, it can only be internalized by doing (i.e. Meditating).
If ‘doing’ is bound by the limitation of time, then the act is imitated with the help of analogies. Analogies help us understand the experience.
To begin the process of learning, an experiment was formulated to understand visual design principles through analogies. These analogies were further mapped to real-world design tasks through comparisons and initiated discussions by the instructor. The experiment was conducted over a span of four to five years across various design institutes and has manifested itself into a teaching method documented in this book titled Visual Order.
