LECTURES : Week 2


1. Introduction to basic composition.

FOCAL POINT-A key element to any good composition is a strong focal point.

SCALE & HIERARCHY-Scale is often used to help communicate hierarchy by drawing attention toward and away from certain elements.

BALANCE THE ELEMENTS-A good technique for mastering asymmetrical balance is to think of each element as having a ‘weight’ to it. WHITE SPACE-helps your design to breathe.


2. Rules of Third.


The Rule of Thirds is the process of dividing an image into thirds, using two horizontal and two vertical lines. This imaginary grid yields nine parts with four intersection points.

The Rule of Thirds is a way to: Use composition techniques that are in line with what's naturally pleasing to the eye. Creatively use negative space. Create conversation between the subject and background.


3. Golden Ratio.


Creating and appreciating a sense of beauty through harmony and proportion. When applied to design, the Golden Ratio provides a sense of artistry.

It's a determining dimensions of the layout. You can set your dimensions to 1:1.618 to apply the Golden Ratio.

REFLECTION

This week, we learned from the teacher how to start making collages, and we used magazines to assemble our own stories. This task was very interesting for me to make the homework of this course for the first time. I tried several different compositions until I was satisfied, which greatly stimulated my interest in creation and also learned a lot of composition knowledge

These eight major variations are as follows: Axial   Radial   Dilational   Random   Grid   Modular   Transitional   Bilateral "Typographical organization is complex because the elements are dependent on communication in order to function. Additional criteria such as hierarchy, order of reading, legibility, and contrast also come into play. The typographic systems are akin to what architects term shape grammars. The typographic systems are similar that the systems has a set of rules that is uni
