Perception & Visual Processing
Visual Hierarchy
The arrangement of visual elements in order of importance, using size, colour, contrast, and position to guide the viewer's eye through content in a deliberate sequence.
In plain language
Size, weight, colour, and position tell the eye where to go first. A screen without hierarchy makes every element compete equally — which means none wins.
In the wild
Implementations of this model aren’t wired to this view yet — they live in the implementations table.
