DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGING - Week 6

 Week 6 (28/MAY/2024)

Lectures:

In this lesson we reviewed and emphasised again the fundamentals of principles of design.

The fundamentals of principlesof design are first emphasis and the second balance and alignment , contrast, repetition this proportion , movement and then we have white space before.

Poster Design

Introduction to Design Principles

The principles of design are essential rules that a designer must follow to create an effective and attractive composition.

Fundamental principles include: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement, and White Space.

A design does not have to strictly follow these rules to be considered “good.” Some exceptional designs may ignore one or more principles to create a unique and effective work.

The 7 Principles of Poster Design

Emphasis

Fig.1.0 Emphasis

Emphasis involves making a particular element stand out to capture the viewer's attention.

Balance and Alignment

Fig.1.1 Balance and Alignment

Balance ensures a design is evenly distributed, while alignment arranges elements in a visually appealing manner.

Contrast

Fig.1.2 Contrast

Contrast makes a design "pop" by creating space and differences between elements. It ensures readability and visual interest by making the background significantly different from the elements.

Repetition

Fig.1.3 Repetition

Repetition unifies and strengthens a design. Using repeated elements like typefaces or colors can create a motif, adding consistency and cohesiveness.

Proportion

Fig.1.4 Proportion

Proportion relates to the visual size and weight of elements in a composition and their relationship to each other. It often helps to approach the design in sections.

Movement

Fig.1.5 Movement

Movement controls the flow of elements in a composition, guiding the viewer's eye from one element to the next and effectively communicating the intended information. It creates the narrative of the work.

White Space

Fig.1.6 White Space

White space, or negative space, is the empty area around the elements in a composition. It allows the design to breathe, often enhancing the overall quality of the composition.

Exercise2（Week6: Recoloring Black & White)

Part1

In week 6, we are to recolour a black and white image following this YouTube tutorial by Mr. Martin. 

I followed the video to make my photos, and fortunately, I didn't have any difficult problems.

Part2

For part 2 of Exercise 2, we are to follow along with this demo of advanced recolouring.

After completing the demo image, we have to select one black & white image from the Google Drive provided.I chose blackpink-lisa.

Feedback

week6

Coloring learning for me is no less than collage, because it is spent in play, because it is not boring, more is the freshness of the first contact and the satisfaction of trying successfully.
