There are a few basic design rules when it comes to user experience (UX) that guides our design. However, one must not fall into the trap of believing the rules are mutually exclusive or that one must adhere to the rules to create an effective design. None of that is more apparent than in creation of a visual balance or visual emphasis.
Article I wrote about following and not following the rules of design.

Wow, where’d you find that?
I am packing for a move and I am an “almost-hoarder” when it comes to electronics and well anything I could maybe use eventually… This weekend I am throwing out or donating everything I am not using. *sigh*
You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend.
But…
Perfect

Psychedelic Images From Inside Your Body
In the course of developing sophisticated imaging techniques for peering into the human body, Hong Kong–based radiologist Dr. Kai-hung Fung discovered something within himself: an artist.
The discovery happened when Fung was asked by surgeons to generate 3-D images to allow them to visualize complex anatomies prior to surgery. Beginning with CT scans that show slices of organs at different depths, Fung stacked the slices into a single image and developed a way to indicate changes in depth with contour lines similar to those on a topographic map.
Adding “millions of colors and the infinite combination of different shades of colors can be more informative than the simple steps of grey scale,” Fung wrote in an email about how he came up with the idea.
Beautiful.
