law-of-continuity

separate

Apply the Law of Continuity — the eye follows alignment and unbroken paths. Use when sequencing steps, aligning content, or designing carousels and timelines. For grouping rather than sequencing, use `law-of-proximity`.

When to use

• sequencing steps
• aligning content
• designing carousels
• designing timelines
• establishing visual flow
• using directional indicators
• separating groups with interrupted continuity

When not to use

• grouping rather than sequencing
