Throughout this module, I have gained a deeper understanding of fundamental design principles, including Gestalt theory, contrast, emphasis, balance, repetition, and movement. I also learned to critically analyze design works and apply these principles effectively in my own projects. The process of documenting my progress in a blog helped reinforce my understanding and allowed me to reflect on my creative decisions. What did I enjoy the most? I particularly enjoyed the hands on approach of the module, where I could experiment with different visual elements and create my own designs. The process of visual analysis was also insightful, as it encouraged me to look beyond aesthetics and consider the purpose and effectiveness of a design. What did I not enjoy the most? The most challenging aspect...

  Recap of Task 3 Brief:  The next phase involves creating a design based on the proposed idea from Task 2. This design must demonstrate an understanding of design principles throughout the development process and final outcome. Any medium or material may be used, except full photography, to effectively communicate the visual message. Additionally, all work completed for the module, including the final design, must be documented in a blog, concluding with a final reflection. Selected Idea from Task 2: Nature vs Structure 1.

  Recap of Task 2 brief: Task 2 focuses on analysing the artwork selected in Task 1. The objective is to investigate its design principles, assess its size, placement, purpose, and overall effectiveness. This involves conducting a detailed  visual analysis , examining key elements such as composition, color, balance, contrast, and hierarchy. The task requires exploring potential improvements by  sketching three alternative ideas . Each sketch must be accompanied by a brief description (30-50 words) explaining the rationale behind the modifications. Visual references may also be included to support the ideation process. The final analysis and ideation will be documented in this blog post, incorporating written insights, sketches, and references to demonstrate a deeper understanding of design principles.
