You can also get the viewer to move around the page by changing size of objects, that, too, creates a motion and a direction. Here is a very simple one, and you see this everywhere, it's sort of the growing of the size. This is how you want your charts to look at work, this is what you hope your child would do as he grows up, you've got this motion that goes from small up to big. And it also helps you progress across the page this way, and move from the lower part of the page to the upper part of the page, so that you're not leaving the page out. Now, the problem we have here is that you may decide that this gets too empty and deal with that, but this is kind of what size can help you do with this. So you can also, if we get smaller as we go, (let's change the positioning a little bit), but you can also, again, smaller goes to bigger and then maybe we're going to get smaller again. And again, you create a rhythm, and we'll just do these this way so that you can see, you sort of create a rhythm, it goes up and it goes back down. So you can create rhythm and you can create direction by the sizing, really thinking about the size of the shapes that you're using on the page, thinking about size and shape, not just thinking about balance, for example.
