Visual hierarchy is a cornerstone for all design disciplines and describes how humans interact and perceive content across all mediums. As digital designers, it is our responsibility to design interfaces and experiences that help communicate the content our users are looking for. Mobile screens present unique challenges to applying visual hierarchy concepts, especially when viewed through the lens of responsive design and progressive enhancement. This presentation will explore tactics that can be employed to help bridge the gap between design constraint and content priority, as well as discuss the role visual hierarchy should play when designing for all digital screens.

• Record the results
46. • Catalog entire website’s content
• Review analytics to find out where users
are going (and not going)
