What is the role of elements & principles in graphic design?
Elements and principles were the basics of designing. With the combinations of them, interesting artworks were made.
What is this design task all about?
The design principle of movement refers to the path a viewer’s eye takes through a composition. In an image, the kinds of lines, shapes, and forms an artist uses can affect this movement.
Why did you design your illustration this way? (show evidence of your sketching, development, peer feedback & refinement)
The movement made me think of the ripples on the water and the small hills. So I created two different versions of both of them.
This is a more three-dimensional way of movement which I tried to make the arrows as if they’re going up and down along a small hill.
I used the line tools to illustrate all the lines. It took me a long time to make sure the wave of all arrows is actually on the same line so it seems neat which was really really hard and confusing.
The feedback for my work was to make the work express more on purpose, so I tries to show the movement with the arrow so that it’s easy to see that it’s going in a direction.
The second one is about the ripples in the water, which is a two-dimensional one. This one is more repetitive as the first one is more challenging, but having all those lines done differently was also taking time and effort. I also need to watch out for the pattern in nature to make the ripples spread more naturally.
