Principles of Design
In these videos, I analyze the images below according to four design principles: Contrast, Alignment, Proximity, Repetition.
Design Principle One: Contrast
What is the purpose of the poster below? What is Contrast and what are some ways the designer uses contrast to achieve his/her purpose? Does the poster achieve its goal, why/why not?
Design Principle Two: Alignment
What is the purpose of the poster below? What is Alignment and what are some ways the designer uses alignment sto achieve his/her purpose? Does the poster achieve its goal, why/why not?
Design Principle Three: Proximity
What is the purpose of the poster below? What is Proximity and what are some ways the designer uses Proximity to achieve his/her purpose? Does the poster achieve its goal, why/why not?
Design Principle Four: Repetition
What is the purpose of the poster below? What is Repetition and what is repetition 2-3 ways the designer uses repetition to achieve his/her purpose? Does the poster achieve its goal, why/why not?
