Objective:

Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the principles of design by designing a flyer explaining what each principle means and visually demonstrating what each principle looks like, so they can better understand and recognize what each principle looks like when it is used effectively.

Links:

• Vectr – Free Online Vector Graphics Software

Topics Discussed:

• Vectr Page Layout
• Principles of Design (Contrast)

Assignment:

1. Create a new one-page file in Vectr with all the default settings.
2. Use Images, Text and the Principles of Design (C.R.A.P.) that we have been studying over the last few days to design a page that lists all four principles, explains what each principle means, and visually demonstrates what each principle looks like.
3. For each of the four principles (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity), create a new text box and write at least one complete sentence in your own words about what each principle means (as it pertains to design), then use images (or text) to demonstrate what each of the four principles looks like.
4. Your page should be full with all four principles! We’ll turn this document in to the Google Classroom page on Friday!
5. Remember the Principles of Design (C.R.A.P.): Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity, and let them guide all your decisions as you build this page! Remember to create a strong focal point, and a strong eyeflow using the principles!
6. Save this assignment as “Your Name – C.R.A.P. Principles”, and export it as an .svg, .png or .jpg file. Upload your exported file to today’s Assignment Post on our Google Classroom page.
7. You may turn this assignment in as soon as you have all four principles, neatly arranged on the page according to the Principles of C.R.A.P.
8. Hand in this assignment to the Assignment Post titled “C.R.A.P. Principles Project” in our Google Classroom page by end of day Friday.
