SHOW ME THE C.R.A.P.: C.R.A.P. PRINCIPLES PROJECT – Spring 2021

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:

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.

VECTOR GRAPHICS ADVANCED – VECTR DAY 2

Welcome Back to Vectr!

Yesterday, we began working with Vectr, a free graphics software used to create vector graphics easily and intuitively. Today we are going to continue working with Vectr by completing the remaining online tutorials.

Let’s get started by exploring the Vectr workspace, and learning about some of the tools, palettes and control panels that are unique to creating art in the Vectr software

Objective:

I can learn to use the tools in the online Vectr application by completing interactive tutorials so I can effectively apply the tools to the creation of new and original digital graphics.
