Design Principles
Week1 : summary or Lecture

During the first week our instructor walked us through the entire semester's modules, showed us the nine principles and had us watch the materials he gave us to show us how to create our own designs and write blog posts to document them.

NSTRUCTIION


      

1. Balance   


                                                    1.1 Reference Chart


1.Symmetrical, visual can make the plane look harmonious and organized, symmetrical balance is created by placing elements evenly on both sides of the horizontal vertical axis



1.1  Image from Shake

Black and white decorative painting this painting I think it is symmetrical balance between left and right up and down, so it is my reference picture, I like this style


1.2 Idea Exploration



1.2 Progress 1:Main Body

I referenced the picture above, which made me think of the main character as a bird that



1.3 Progress 2:Decorative background

The theme is birds so I thought the surrounding decoration should be flowers and grass, or leaves, so I used black and white, lines, and waves to create



1.4 Progress 3:Decorative background

Most of the work has been completed, but I still feel that there are some holes in the upper part of the picture, I initially thought of adding leaves and flowers, but then it would be too crowded and there is no sense of space, finally I still use small flowers, dots and lines to fill the blank places



1.3 Final Outcome 



1.5  Emphasis: Final artwork

I use black and white decorative painting, uniform black and white, the two sides are vertically symmetrical, I think this whole picture is more balanced


2.Highlight

  2.1 Reference Chart


1.Emphasis is on design that stands out


                                          1.6 This picture is from Little Red Book

This reference chart one page you can see that color different dots, I think this chart emphasis is very obvious, but also very simple, so that I also very easy to understand



                                                              1.7 Image from Shake

This is my reference to the sun, I think it would be more interesting to replace some points with the sun

2.2 Idea Exploration



                                                            
                                                          1.8 Highlighting the first sun

This is what I want to express highlight I used AI software painting, the first sun color is very bright, the rest are darker, very prominent first sun


I improved on the first picture, I turned the colors into warm colors, one darker, one lighter, the colors are both prominent and harmonious, and add a cute expression bag


                                               2.3  Outcome Final


I finally chose the second picture that


3.Contrast
                                                 3.1   Outcome Final



                                                              2.1 Image from Google


                                                                 3.1 Image from Google
The difference could be that one element has a darker background color while the other has a lighter background color.
It could also be that one element has a cooler tone and another has a warmer tone. Or one element may be larger and the other smaller.


3.2 Idea Exploration



                                                                           2.2 Sketch

I use an iPad to draw, and I start by drawing two identical cartoon characters



                                                                            2.3 Coloring

I use warm colors on one side and cold colors on the other, so I will feel a contrast between warm and cold

                                                    2.3  Outcome Final


                                                                          2.4 Background

I want to add the background will look a little more obvious contrast, so I used the black and white two contrast

Feedback: 

 Week 1
No feedback, because we just started practicing

Week 2
Need to add more details and sketches

Week 3
Contrast the two, let me change the background to one black and one white, warm and cool colors can't be contrasted obviously
Week 4
Flowing lines are too short, circle or turn to draw more lines, eventually I change the flow to highlight

Following Mr. Vinod's instructions, we began by determining the subject matter, backstory and narrative style, output format, visual style, mood board references, color scheme, and some concept sketches.
