Design Principles:
Contrast: There is good contrast with the text on the background. There are lighter and brighter colors with darker and duller text colors.
Repetition: I repeated the bullet points in both the green rectangular object and in the checklist section. I repeated the color of each section of text.
Alignment: The left side has a strong alignment, with the title and checklist, There is a right align with the date and the encouragement phrase.
Proximity: Everything is in sections so their proximity is based on what section they are in.
Color: I used brighter colors that stick out a bit for the backgrounds. The text is dark but blander to help focus in on the words.
Font: The title font is partially constructed with blocks. The other fonts are easier to read so that the viewer can know what action to take.
Layout: The layout is such that you start at the top left side, reading what the visual is about, work your way down the checklist, then over to the encouragement phrase.
