- My element: Texture
- Graphic design-Educational poster design
- What is the role of elements & principles in graphic design?
- The use of the elements and principles in graphic design makes the picture basicly looks better and more appealing. The combine of elements and principles can make many interesting designs by combining elements.
- What is this design task all about?
- Texture is used to represent how an object appears or feels, such as being rough, smooth, silky, shiny, fuzzy and so on.
Why did you design your illustration this way? (show evidence of your sketching, development, peer feedback & refinement)
here is my design:

My few first designs on procreate:
I chose the design of rock wall at last, because it’s the easiest way to show “textures”, and also easier to draw on computer (maybe).
First I draw out the lines for the wall using black pen
Then I check out the background, and sadly I found no any pen that can draw out the texture like rocks, and drawing rocks one by one is gonna be really hard, so I choose to use the texture in the app, even though its not texture like rocks anymore, but it still has its own texture and special one, looks out not too bad.
But the drawing is still too simple, so I want to add some more things. Then I added a light ( ?) with simple line, because the main part is still the background-the texture. The light circle not only can show the light, the more important part is to show texture in different ways, or different situation, or to highlight the part to show texture wall clearer.
😀 Thats all it goes out.
Personal poster process
Sorry I can only upload a word file because I can’t save it in blog, it shows the picture is too big and can’t save.
Personal Poster
(I will separate process and these at two different blogs, because for some reason I cant upload them all)
My poster:
- Padlet pictures and influence
here are some pictures I chose to influence my design.
I got the main color I used for my design from looking at these pictures, orange, red and pink, the color like sunset, because I think it represents romantic and tender, and can set off an atmosphere for the poster. I really like clouds and skies in the examples, so I decided to draw the background of evening sky. Then I want to add some colorful and good design in the poster, so I drew balloons with different color, it adds story to this painting.
For example of how they influence me, in picture3, the”Lamplight” one, I really like how the designer combine different colors, purple and green gives a feeling of mystery and also adds red to create a good feeling. So because I want a tender feeling so I add pink and other warm color, and I also add blue to make character out from other colors.
2. Feedback by friends and correction
here is my how my poster look at before feedback:
And then I gathered how some other students think about the poster, I can change my words on the poster better by changing the typeface I used for my name, it doesn’t look that fit, so I changed to something that looks more free and better match my scribbled picture. Then I should put some words that connected to the questions because these separate words can’t really represent that much, so I changed them too. At last I deleted the white flower, it looks nice, but doesn’t match my poster.
SWOT
Strengths: I like to read, and I can read kind of fast.
Weaknesses: lack of vocabulary, and bad grammar.
Opportunities: read more books and remember some vocabulary every day.
Threats: lack of grammar, and too lazy.
My goal this semester is to do better at grammar, and not having any more grammar questions while writing.
By reading more books I would like to get my grammar better, I will know I have achieved this when I can write good sentences with no any grammar questions in my essay.
X Design Persona Poster

This is a logo of a company that focus on taking families on a journey cruise. Inspired by topographical map patterns, arrows, coordinates and grid paper, the brand nods to its nautical heritage. I think this design is pretty cool, it give me a feeling of want to go travel, want to follow the arrow to the nature. And its background has a good warm color.
