It also integrates the elements of design to make it easy to understand. Take these helpful tips that illustrate what those are:      Here's an example of a layout that was "popular" in 2016, according to this website ; I think it'd still be quite popular today, too.       Here are some examples of documents that aren't portfolios, but incorporate those elements of design, like repetition, hierarchy of colors and typefaces.
