GOOD DESIGN CHECKLIST

Use this when building your four designs book....

Brainstorming your THEME

We need an overall "big idea" for our book of designs..... something to link the images together....

First

A THEME is something untouchable.... a "big idea". Because it is abstract, you can create many images that connect back to it....

BRAINSTORMING is a way to gather ideas about a theme as quickly as they pop into your imagination.... one idea creates another.... by writing them down, you gather ingredients to use in creating your images.

Here are some examples of THEMES
