Principles of 2D Design

I thought the chapter gave a nice overview of the 2D components of design. I actually ended up reading the spark notes version of "The Turn of the Screw" after seeing the poster for it. So the examples were definitely great and were very relative to their topics. Though most of this was a review for me, containment was one that I was not quite familiar with. After seeing the exaples I realize how much a simple box can create emphasis and focus. I only wish that they would have had more on priorities since often we will be using more than one principle of design in our work.
