Robin Williams
Contrast
The concept of keeping the elements of a page which look visually similar apart. Likewise, keeping elements that appear different together. This is mainly to make it easy to view and to the visual attraction of the page.Repetition
The idea of continuing and repeating visual elements of a page. The goal is add to the organizational strength and sense of unity in a site as a whole, a swell as seperate pages.Alignment
"Nothing should be placed on the page arbitrarily". Every element needs to be aligned on a page for a reason, whether it is to guide the eyes in a certain direction, or give a good sophisticated look.Proximity
Then concept of keeping elements which relate to each other close to each other. This helps the organizational feel of a page and makes it easier to browse.As nice as this works out as a strategy, it kind of lacks in the anacronym department. Much like "Citizens for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society" from Red Dwarf. Not a good anacronym.
