The principles of design from Brad Potter

 

2. Find one example of each of the elements and principles in movie or band posters, photograph, or CD cover and post the 12 images to your blog! Title each of your posters with the element or principle that they are illustrating and include one sentence on why the poster effectively illustrates that element or principle!

MAKE ONE POST FOR YOUR ELEMENTS AND A SECOND POST FOR YOUR PRINCIPLES!







**Teacher's Example - Elements of Design Post**


Line - This poster is a good example of line because the lines of the ceiling and hallway stand out and lead your eye to the twins at the end of the hallway.  There is also a detailed decorative line drawing in the top corner.  



Colour - This poster shows colour because the colours of orange and yellow really stand out against the blue background.  


Shape - This poster shows shape because the shapes are silhouetted and stand out against one another.  The simplification of colour and texture allows us to draw our attention to the shapes.


Texture   - This poster is a good example of texture because you can almost "feel" the jagged, but smooth bullet shells that are making up the face of Nicholas Cage.

Form - this movie poster shows form really successfully because the light is cast on the shape of Superman's chest and the viewer is tricked into thinking it is three-dimensional.

Space - this poster makes the viewer feel as if the sky is very far away. The buildings are angled in a way that gives the illusion of being up high and creating a large amount of space in between the viewer the tops of the buildings.

Value - this poster is made using only different shades and tints of blue. The closer objects are to the viewer, the darker they are. The further away they are, the lighter they appear.

***DO THE SAME FOR THE PRINCIPLES AS WELL!***
