I think that the main three words emphasis, balance, and contrast follow the rule of thirds. The sizes of the 3 words decrease as your eyes go from emphasis to balance then to contrast. Then as you are done looking at the core three words your eyes then focus toward the other three words:alignment,flow,and repetition. I feel as though I accomplished the rules of thirds and your eyes move through the design in a way to make the design pleasing to the eye.I think the words visually communicated their meanings. Emphasis is italicized and has extra emphasis on the "emp". The "a" and "c" in balance are placed in particular way to show that they are held up by the rest of the word "balance". The word "con" in contrast is slightly bigger and coming at you and the "traits" is going away from the viewer and is slightly smaller showing difference or contrast. Flow is repeated and used in a whimsical way by going in wave "like" kind of manner. Flow bends around the "emp" in emphasis and sort of flows off the page. Repetition is repeated in the background and the opacity is changed to not make it stand out too much. Alignment is repeated and connected at corners to try to covey some sort of aligning of the words.
