Goal: Examine proportions.

category: alignment

To Do

1. 1. align with scale
   2. post to Miro
   3. prepare to give your 2 minute presentation

 

1. Alignment with scale

Revise your alignment
4 pages

Same instructions as last week (see the bottom of this page to review)
Add:

• • • • use a typeface that your designer would choose
      • use scale (different sizes) to create hierarchy
      • think about figure-ground
        • Text
          one quote
          designer’s name
          designer’s medium/genre (print, web, furniture, etc.)
          date
          general location

Process

1  Use a 5 column grid
2.  Group elements using alignment
3.  Create at least 3 levels of hierarchy using scale

 

Remember

• • • • Do not center
      • Group items
      • Remember figure-ground!
        Don’t spread items all over the page, create a mass of white space
      • Do not use the same amount of white space at the top and bottom of your page

examples of alignment from class

 

DON’T DO THIS:

This is aligned but it creates 2 separate groups

 

These are NOT aligned
