Principles Of Design
Assignment 2A : Composition Principle Of Design
Lecture:
Class started with Ms Lisa straight started the class by reviewing out work on assignment 2A. Most of us did well and had beautiful artwork. I was amaze by most of the artwork because 1) it was done by hand. 2) i know most of them did at the very last minute. So imagine what they could had done if they started earlier. After giving a general feedback on all our artwork, she continue her lecture that explain our next assignment.
Step 1: I stared just by choosing a random colour as the background then creating random blocks on only 1 side of the paper. Then fill up those block with a contra colour.
Instructions: Assignment 2A (Composition Principle Of Design)
Having learned that Principles Of Design so now its time to apply them and create 6 different design obeying the main principle of design.

Dominance
1
Step 1: Started off by creating a 8x12 sheet because that was the size of an A4 paper. then i fill in a neutral colour i always start with which was light sky blue and created a triangle in the middle of the paper. I then adjusted the size and started doing the lines.
Step 2: The line were done individually and repeated. The length and portion was adjusted according to the rhythm. This took the most time (2 Weeks) as i didnt work continuously.
Step 3: I added a circle in the last minute to make the triangle stand out even more. Then i create a border and fill it with dark grey. Later i fill the blue background with pure red and a yellow in the circle area as i was watching iron-man at the time.
Repetition
2
Step 1: I when on google images and find few interesting background to make it as the inner pattern. My idea was to create a repetition of the letter A and fill in those chosen pattern in the letter.
Step 2: I find a suitable front that had good space in the front to make the detail in the deign visible. I use the stamp pattern tool in photoshop to clone the chosen background and cover the letter. There is a easier way to fill in the letter with the chosen background actually.
Step 3: Later then i just arrange the later. I didnt want to make it to small then i didnt want the letter to look small when i print it out because i want the detail in the design to be seen clearly.
Contrast
3
Step 1: I fill half the paper with red and the other half pure white then i did a black line border.
Step 2: I know you dont like 1D Ms Lisa but I had to do it anyway. LOL. I position the words like that to show contrast the the 2 words. From this point it looks like the ink in the word "One" was dripping into the bottom half of the paper then the white part of the paper was dripping down creating the word "Direction".
Balance
4
Step 2: After finishing half the paper, I then just duplicate all the shapes to the other side to create the feel of symmetry. The i added the sun in the middle for some reason the clear out the middle part guided by the grids that i made earlier.
Unity
5
Step 1: This was maybe the most simple design because i didnt had much idea about it. Just picking a colour and finding the common tone and then fill up in the boxes that ive design.
Step 2: I measured the boxes to 1cm each and then added a horizontal line to make 2 different colours.
Scale & Proportion
Step 1: I did few shades of blue first then added a curve line to make it look like a wave effect. The i added white circles to make a bubble impression. I didnt know why but the circles got pixelated as it got bigger.
Step 2: Then i did a bigger circle at the bottom to look like a diver and added different tone to make it look more interesting.
Step 3: To make it look like a sea evenmore. I added a sun and did the same thing like what i did to the diver which was added multiple tones to make it look more interesting.

100 Words Synopsis:
I began with looking at the samples that Ms Lisa gave us then i tried to mix and match those ideas to come up with a new design. I was lucky enough to had come up with a few ideas with help of Astro. Doesnt sound right but I got few idea while watching TV and that motivate me to create something new. Some of my design was completely random but somehow i manage to still design an artwork obeying the concept of composition. The domination design took me the most time to do but it was my best artwork that i did (to me). Then i really like my repetition artwork because it showed detail in the design and the use of the letter A because my name starts with an A. The most challenging artwork for me was the Scale & Proportion artwork because i didnt really understand the full concept of it. In the end thanks to a sea documentary that my dad was watching i got an idea so i start designing it on scrap paper first before trying to do the actual design in Photoshop.
