Symmetry & Visual Order Cues
Symmetric, well-aligned layouts are processed more easily, and processing ease is felt as liking and truth; a tidy proposal feels sounder than an identical messy one.
An everyday example
Two decks with the same numbers; the aligned one gets the investment.
What it can cost you
Mistaking fluency for validity.
Warning signs
- It feels solid and I have not checked the inputs.
- The messy one annoys me for reasons unrelated to content.
One thing to do
Re-read the messy version's numbers and the tidy version's assumptions with equal care; fluency should change nothing in your checklist.
