Smart and Gets things done
What should you look for during the open-ended questions?
One: look for passion. Smart people are passionate about the projects they work on. They get very excited talking about the subject. They talk quickly and get animated. There are far too many people around who can work on something and not really care one way or the other. It’s hard to get people like this motivated about anything.
Two: good candidates are careful to explain things well, at whatever level. You don’t want to hire some one, basically, because he is not smart enough to comprehend what it takes to make other people understand their ideas.

No Designer's Design Book
When several items are in close proximity to each other, they become one visual unit rather than several separate units. As in life, the proximity, or the closeness, implies a relationship.
By grouping similar elements into one unit, several things instantly happen: The page becomes more organized. You understand where to begin reading the message, and you know when you are finished. And the “white space” (the space around the letters) automatically becomes more organized as well.
