Visual Design Essential Principles

I have been creating more resources for the Visual Law Meetup that will be happening today at Stanford d.school. I’ve been making guides to a visual design process, and also some essential principles & prohibitions for communication design.

Here is a set of Visual Design Principles, intended for lawyers, but applicable to many others:

They will live now on my Legal Design Toolbox, where I am compiling guides and resources for communication design, product design, and organization design. Again, I’m building these mainly for people working on legal design projects — but they are applicable for other people working on bringing design into fields that typically aren’t tuned into design.
