The role of the design principles is to help the authors to design in a way that the readers view the artwork the way the author intended to.

The purpose of this design task is to communicate and educate the design elements and principles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I illustrated using lines, shapes, colors as I expressed the movement, because I wanted to communicate the principle of movement thoroughly at the same time making it visually appealing.

During the process of making this poster, I struggled because I used ProCreate for my rough draft and it was difficult to make similar artwork in Affinity. However, I decided to import my draft to Affinity and copy it using the vector technique. That way, I could use affinity to make my design. Through this I could really explore new techniques and different ways to make a design. The lessons provided me time to fully use the vector technique and play with layers as I was to decide which lines to go over which.

 

 

 

Between these two designs, I had to decide which one to be my final product. With my partner, I decided to use the second design because we thought both communicated movement well but the second one could pull the audience’s attention more with its colors.

 

 

 

 

 

Partner Feedback: When my partner looked at my design, he talked about how I used a lot of “lines” and “colors” and how it can confuse to the audience. So, I tried to focus more on the curve and the thickness to really communicate the “movement.”
