The principle of proximity is about moving things closer or farther apart to achieve a more organized look. The principle says that related items should be grouped together so that they will be viewed as a group, rather than as several unrelated elements. 1. Repetition in the Obermayer website focuses on three colors: Gray, White, & Gold. There is a consistent font used throughout the entire website makes it more appealing to the eyes. The difference between the two is the scrolling. The menu links are permanently in place which makes the website feel shorter. As opposed to Miller Law which seems long and drawn out. Also, Miller Law is consistent with the blue and white theme but the website doesn't feel unified in its presentation.
