I never thought of it as art, but the simplicty is that an autorouter
will take your miost sensitive input lead and twist it around your AC
lines to get it across the board.

Once you autoroute, see what goes where and make sure you AC don't
mix up your DC, and your pwm outputs don't cross the super sensitive
op-amps lines.
