Design Fundamentals: Notes on Visual Elements and Principles of Composition

Miss Visual Elements and Principles of Composition class,again? Thats OK. You can borrow our notes.

Lucky for you, we didnt miss a single class the entire semester so youll find all of the important points explained in the notes, along with the class assignments.

How does a dot turn into a line to create a shape that makes up a composition?We covered that and more. Youll see in the notes that we went over all of the basic elements of compositiondot, line, shape, texture, & pattern, color, and spaceas well as the principles for composing the elements on flat surfaces (paper, canvas, screens) and in three dimensions.

We had some pop quizzes in this class so we put those in the notes too so you can test yourself, even if it wont count toward your actual grade.

If anything doesnt make sense in the notes, just go to the class website atdesign-fundamentals.com. The instructor put extra projects and exercises on the site, a bunch of cool links, recommended reading, that sort of thing. Also, check out our Pinterest boards at Pinterest.com/DSNFundamentals. You could spend hours looking through it all.

Good luck!
