Project 1 summary

From this project I learned what good composition was and how the eye tends to like threes. Also, I learned that good color helps a design in more than one way. I learned that design is a process and spitting all ideas out, even the bad ones, will end up helping you come up with the final good design. I tried to use these things I learned to help me in my design. I used the concept of heirarchy using color, which I learned from the lecture was a good way to draw the eye to the most important part of the poster. I also made thumbnails of ideas so I could get out the bad ideas and look for the good ideas. If I were to do anything differently I would make more thumbnails and ideas to have more concepts to work off of. The most difficult part of the process would have to be the word list and intial ideas. After the starting point it got easier, but the start was hard, because I just had so many ideas I didn’t know where to start. Most of my ideas changed slightly into one another. They worked off each other, but none of them were drastic changes. Overall I found this project a real learning experience and I learned a lot about what is good design
