Contrast – Color pictures of swing set with bright colors sets it off, red and blue. Text is black, minimal white space. The reader is pretty easily directed to the correct sections.

Repetition - The pictures go together, like they were taken as a swing set was being built. There are no off-the-wall pictures with some inside, some outside, different color swing sets, etc. The hardware parts are always shown in life-size as well, so the builders knows exactly which pieces of the swing he or she may need and the type of screws needed to put it together.

Alignment - Right aligned text. Reads from left to right, top to bottom, easy for reader.

Proximity - broken down into swing, glider, slide and preassembled parts. Each section has a clear header and is mildly separated from the others.
