While creating scrapbook layouts, another design principle that you can identify is Flow. It means how your eye goes from one element to another while exploring the content of the page. Some key considerations to achieve a good flow would include eye movement, logical sequencing, grouping and clustering, and visual transitions. Flow will give a sense of continuity and connection throughout the page.

When used correctly, the emphasis principle can add visual interest and impact to a design. Let's look at a few different ways that you can go about adding emphasis to your scrapbook pages.
