A good layout requires careful planning and use of composition, which relies on principles such as hierarchy, scale, proportion, contrast, harmony, rhythm, repetition, and many more.

We should stop comparing ourselves to others.
It’s not productive.
We are all unique and all have a unique path in life.
Instead:
Seek Feedback.

Be you. Be unique. 🫶
