Review: Week 5

For each of the 5 elements of design (shape, line, texture, space, value), find an example that utilizes each element within the design (Google search for poster design, advertisements, etc). You should have 5 DIFFERENT sample designs. 

For each, evaluate the design in 4 to 5 sentences. Label each with the appropriate element. Then, discuss how that particular element is used and how it enhances the design. 

 

SHAPE:

This design is simple yet it still does its job, meaning it catches the audiences eye with its colors and keeps your eyes moving along the diagonal lines and reading the text. I like the three colors together because they are classic and catchy. The text is perfect for the simplicity of the advertisement. Triangles were a good choice because they also create the diagonal line effect that moves the audience's eyes across the page and into the text. If the designer was to use squares or circles this add would not be as eye catching or easy to read and follow.
