(Shape, Color, Content) An effective visual structure is crucial to the success of any design.ADVERTISING BASICS VISUAL HIERARCHY– Visual hierarchy is about establishing an order of all the information in a work.– Ask yourself:• Where do you look first?• Where do you look second?• Where do you look third? Visual hierarchy is the most important principle of design.
