LECTURES


WEEK 2- INTRODUCTION TO COMPOSITION

Introduction to basic composition
  • Focal point- the important pieces of a design
  • Scale & Hierarchy- drawing attention towards and away from certain elements
  • Balance the Elements- think of each element as having a 'weight' to it
  • White space- empty space to balance up the main focus of a composition to help your design breathe
Rule of Thirds
  • nine identical boxes that fit over the image are formed by the grid's three equally spaced rows and columns
  • composition techniques that are in line with what's naturally pleasing to the eye
Golden Ratio
  • creates a sense of beauty through harmony and proportion
  • provides a sense of artistry
  • a useful guideline for determining dimensions of the layout (1:1.618)

WEEK 2- COLLAGE DESIGN ELEMENTS
Identify your collage's design elements to be cut out and compose it into your own concept & story.

We were required to find and cut out the elements from magazines, however I didn't have any magazines at home, so I used a booklet about water taps instead.

For this redesign, I chose colors...
