Arrangement is the way objects are arranged on a page to make it appealing to the audience and organized. Proximity and directionals are two aspects of arrangement.
Proximity is the way objects are grouped together or are placed and it visually helps the person know what to do or to know the message that is trying to be conveyed. For example: An exit signs usually hangs over the door or has an arrow pointing to the direction of a door. It's placement above the door is an example of proximity while if it is using an arrow to point to the door it is an example of a directional.
Directionals are used to visually help a person know where to go or what to do.
Another example of proximity is a stop light. The lights are close together and are grouped in a way that is clear to the driver.
