How do you use repetition and variation to create interest and consistency?
Fonts are an important part of a brand's visual language. However they are meant to support your message and although variation can be good, too much can overwhelm your message and confuse your audience. Typically you should first choose a font that doesn't compete with your logo visually (using Coca-Cola as an example again, you wouldn't want to use the font from the logo for a headline or anything as it would devalue the logo). With that in mind, brands typically choose a headline and body font that compliment each other. These choices should be made thoughtfully so your audiences know how to interpret your brand.

How do you use repetition and variation to create interest and consistency?
It is important to ask yourself, what is your brand's main color? This is the color you want to be recognized by (think of Coca-Cola's red or IBM's blue). What are the colors that go with that? These are the colors, you will use to create variations and depth when needed. And finally, what is the tension color that I can use to show importance? Tensions is important in a brand as this is typically the color you will use for calls-to-action and alerts.

How do you use repetition and variation to create interest and consistency?
There are different levels of variation. Slight differences on a common element versus elements that are uncommon and totally different. Overall, it is important to use variation in your design language so your audience can easily notice the difference between distinct elements. For example landing pages for areas of a different nature on a site (e.g.: Services landing page vs. Product landing page) should look different. Variations allow users to recognize differences and create a new sense of "place" in their mind.

How do you use repetition and variation to create interest and consistency?
When it comes to components in digital design, developers love repetition, because they can basically create a same component to be used in several areas. Depending on the component, you could have variations (e.g.: hero message area with an image, with a video element, with a carousel, etc.). This can be very useful and clients love it as it allows them to make variations from the same element.

It’s all in the principles of design. Focal point. Hierarchy. Great mix of serif and sans serif. Designers make a difference.
