You are to find two print examples and two web examples of each of the following design principles used in actual designs (for a total of 20 examples):
- Balance
- Proportion
- Harmony
- Contrast
- Hierarchy
And write two to three sentences explaining why your example illustrates the design principle.
NB: You are to find examples of actual designs. If you perform a Google Image Search for “Balance” and find an image or drawing showing the principle of balance, you will NOT earn credit. The purpose of this assignment is to study how these design principles have been used in real designs. If I suspect that you simply Googled these terms, I will drop your image into a GIS and see where you found it. If it comes from a website meant to show or list these principles, you have not completed the assignment and will not earn points.
Some resources to get you started:
- Issuu.com - Print magazines displayed online (these count as Print examples)
- WordPress Theme Examples – Tons of web designs
- How Poster Design Awards – Print Posters
