Containers

Decisions about how to style containers, where to place them, and how many to use depend on context, but container design generally follows a few key principles:

• A container is typically defined by an outline or fill color.
• Layering containers on top of each other should be avoided.
• Container color schemes and styles should remain consistent throughout a task.
• Container styling can be used to differentiate content types (e.g., containers for stimuli may be styled differently than containers for activities that test takers must complete).

The following examples illustrate a range of possible container styles. In general, more rigid styles are appropriate for content that is the primary focus, and softer styles are appropriate for secondary content.
