1005.4 Creating with Design Element and Principles

Principles of design influence how we use or incorporate different elements for a great composition.  Principles again offer options for all the CommTech including Web Design , Desktop Publishing , Graphic Design & More.  Use the Principles of Design as outlined in the video of 1005.3 lesson to design your own Toy-a-day.  These principles will apply to the photographer as much as the artist, or the architect.


Graphic design is used in composing great images with a Pencil ,Brush or Light and a Camera. Composing is building the story you want to tell about what ever subject you choose. Knowing design principles will allow you to judge the quality of different drawings or photographs by their effectiveness at sharing a message in the work.


•Individually design a toy with this blank and graphics you create or find on the web.

•Open the downloaded file through Photoshop.  If you do this, as opposed to copy and paste into photoshop, then you won’t have to worry about document settings.

•Make the toy relate to an activity of your own and for a general audience.

•Build the toy.
