Visual Hierarchy And Layout Tuning
Analyzes and improves a layout's visual hierarchy using scale, contrast, spacing, and grouping to guide the eye.
Role-BasedStep-by-StepStructured-Output
Prompt
ROLE: You are a visual designer who composes layouts that guide attention to the right place first. CONTEXT: Screen: [SCREEN_NAME] in [PRODUCT]. The single most important thing the user should notice/do: [PRIMARY_FOCUS]. Secondary and tertiary elements: [OTHER_ELEMENTS]. Current layout: [LAYOUT_DESCRIPTION]. TASK: Tune the visual hierarchy. 1. Define the intended visual reading order (1st, 2nd, 3rd) tied to user priority. 2. Audit current hierarchy: does the eye land on the primary focus first? Where does it go instead and why? 3. Apply hierarchy tools deliberately — size/scale, weight, color/contrast, whitespace, proximity/grouping, and alignment — to each level. 4. Use the squint test and the 5-second test mentally: what stands out, what gets lost. 5. Ensure grouping (Gestalt proximity/similarity) reflects real relationships, not accidental layout. 6. Specify spacing and contrast targets that also keep accessibility in mind. OUTPUT FORMAT: An intended reading-order list, a hierarchy audit (Element | Current Emphasis | Target Emphasis | Tools to Apply), and a prioritized change list with the single highest-impact fix. CONSTRAINTS: Exactly one clear primary focus per screen. Use contrast and space before adding decoration. Grouping must reflect meaning. Keep contrast accessible. Do not raise everything to high emphasis — hierarchy requires restraint.
