66. Applying them to speci๏ฌc design aspects/mediums
Applying a principle to content or visual design might drive you to
further tighten or clarify it.
Finding them too broad or too restrictive.
When principles stop making decisions easier, either because they
seem too ambiguous or theyโre so constraining that nothing works,
you likely need to refine or even eliminate them.
