A fantastic Swiss designer- he has a very dense, layered, modern style.... do you see his use of LINE , Gradients, contrast and patterns in his work?

THEMES could be...

Posting Your Folder Design

The blog is meant to be a "digital portfolio" of your creations, discoveries and investigations from this semester....... Now that you have it set up, let's start with your first post

The Folder Design

1. Post a jpeg of your design (convert it in Illustrator to a "jpeg", by using save for web...)

2. Post a "composition map" of your design to explain how you organized the image..... label these items in the map:

• label the areas of EMPHASIS
• Draw arrows to show how you moved the viewer's attention through the design (movement uses shapes, lines, contrast, or patterns)

3. Write answers to these questions about your work:
            • How did you use shapes, words, numbers (or others) to relate the design to YOU?
            • How did you use software tools, images, or the placement of shapes on the page to make your design CREATIVE and UNIQUE?
            • What is the best part of your design?
