Separation Devices

Wordpress uses boxes to contain composition functions and groups of functions (Dec 2014)

WordPress uses boxes to contain composition functions and groups of functions (Dec 2014)

How things are grouped or otherwise distinguished as separate units.

Examples:
  • Visually: Lines, Boxes (colored, 3D), Shadows
  • Sound/Haptic: Time (pauses/pacing), Order

 

Orientational:

Separation devices are means to create groups of ideas, actions, navigation, or media to help communicate to a user or direct their behavior. For instance, navigation might be kept in a colored box at the top, a sidebar of information could be separated with a line from the main text, and people often set different vibration patterns to distinguish between an alarm versus a text message.

They are most often used stylistically to communicate groups and organize information. Often paired with proximity, order, and color to accomplish this.
