principles of design 2016


SSA and Tardies
For tardies, 3 times, then referral
SSA_follow the guidelines or referral....sorry

Phones should be used for classwork only. If your phone is visible, you should be able to explain how you are using it for class work.

Headphones, earbuds, etc. are not allowed in class.

If you have trouble with your computer or Photoshop, be sure we fix that at the beginning of class. If you wait until I come to check work that is too late.

Standards:

7) Analyze the elements of design by evaluating their purposes and applications in a variety of design applications.
8) Research rules of composition (such as the rule of thirds) and explain how the rules govern the elements and principles of design.
23) Apply the design process to complete projects of increasing complexity and of varying applications such as print, web, film, and marketing communications.

What I want you to know or do:
1. Create and save a Photoshop document correctly. (Correct size and into a folder)
2. Communicate the meaning of the art elements and principles of design.
3. Use Photoshop tools correctly



What I want you to do today:

The principles of design are guidelines for how to arrange the art elements to create "good" design composition.

The principles of design

Balance: a principle of design that refers to the equalization of elements in a work of art. There are three types of balance
Asymmetrical-balance in which one side of the composition appears  different from the other side while remaining   balanced with it.
Symmetrical- balance in which both sides are identical.
Radial-balance based on a circle, with features radiating from a central point.

Contrast: a principle of design that refers to differences in values, colors, textures, and other elements in artwork to  achieve emphasis and interest.

Emphasis: a principle of design by which the artist or designer may use opposing sizes or shapes, contrasting colors, or other means to place greater attention on certain areas or objects in a work of art. Emphasis is achieved by dominance  and subordination, bright against dull, light on dark, large among small, etc.

Movement: a principle of design that refers to the arrangement of parts in artwork to create a flow of the viewer’s eye  through the repeated arrangement of line, shape, color, texture or value; through the orderly positioning of objects;  through contrasting positive and negative shapes; through contrasting sizes; or through gradation of colors and values.

Pattern: a principle of design in which combinations of lines, colors, and shapes are repeated. These repetitions create rhythm in a work of art.

Unity: a principle of design that refers to a sense of wholeness or oneness in an artwork. In other words, all the parts look  like they belong together. Unity involves the co-ordination of all these parts to communicate the idea of the artwork.

No  one element in a design is an entity in itself. Each element is positioned and organized to contribute to the harmony  and unity of the total design.

Unity requires varying emphases so that the design has dominant and subordinate parts.

Unity may be achieved by repetition of color, texture, value, shape, and/or line; by similarity-the colors, shapes or textures  all resemble each other; and by grouping or overlapping visual elements.



Principles of Design assignment

Illustrate the meaning of the principles of design by combining images of the principles with their written definitions. Find images on-line.
Use the definitions above.

For your typeface, choose Times, regular, 14 pt. You choose the color.

Open Photoshop

Go to Window>Workspace>Essentials

Open your document.
Name: Principles of Design
Width: 17 inches
Height: 11 inches
Resolution: 72
Color Mode: RGB Color
Background Contents: White

Save it into your documents folder. 
File>Save As

For help............
Your buddies and

5. To finish, arrange all the principles and definitions together so that someone looking at your document would understand what the art elements are. You will need to move and resize. 




Important tip: Go to Window>Layers and be sure Layers is checked. Look at your Layers Palette. Click on an eyeball to turn layers off. This simplifies your work. Click on the eyeball again to turn it back on.
