When creating documents, visual materials, or adding elements to your web pages, consider the following principals.  With attention to these ideas, your projects will be more effective and efficient at communicating information to your audience.  Always consider the ethical and legal use of images you find online or elsewhere.  

(For more information on the fair and legal use of images and other resources follow this link). 

This is a great reference for visual design principals. I highly recommend adding this to your library.
