Practical Response - Design Development Stage 1

Top-down hierarchy of information reinforces the natural left-to-right, up-to-down flow of the eye (akin to the Western method of reading), allowing users to naturally skim across the content rather than have to search out the information they want. 

A design trend in contemporary user interfaces is the utilisation of modular elements, similar to the fine art style De Stijl, also known as Neoplasticism or Mondrianism. It tends to involve the use of the entire available display with a widescreen aspect ratio, and either a bright and primary or muted and pastel colour system.

Though it's a well received visual style, and has inherent user experience advantages through its ability to create a clear cut sense of hierarchy and keep users interested with its smooth, attractive animations, its tendency as a style to use multiple colours doesn't fit well with the nature of the colour experiment. The design should only utilise one colour, or set of colours at a time, and so a more simple layout would be more appropriate. 

Clouds, diagrams, iconography or other visual elements should be kept to a minimum in order to reduce distraction from the colours.
