Q&A with Sönke Ahrens on How to Take Smart Notes
[Think of the notes as a dialogue partner where they answer each other as opposed to as a collection that must be sorted and organized.]
[Painters design a course for the eye to move through using lines that are implied in the visual content.]
[Distinctions between foreground and background can go beyond spatial position and include things like color, level of detail, whitespace.]
[Think Vitamin uses visual prominence to create a hierarchy for your eye to move through, starting with the title/logo, followed by navigation, then the most recent post, followed by other posts.]
[Bleeding off the edge makes something appear larger and thus more in the foreground.]
[The most dominant element is like a magnet but also like an anchor that the eye repeatedly returns to while exploring other parts of the composition.]
