Based off of our discussion in class about the principles of design, analyze two pieces of work from the portfolio website. Post the images you choose on your blog and write and reflect on how all four principles of design are utilized in the designs. This design by Niteesh Yadav uses the four principles of design. She utilizes contrast in the image by having the runners be brighter colors that stand out against the blue, by having the letters in the middle be orange which compliment the background color, and by having all of the design and writing surrounding the poster be a bright white which stands out against the darker blue. She uses the repetition of the sneaker graphic in the corner to emphasize the purpose of the poster, repetition of shapes to guide the viewer's eye in, and repetition of the blue and white colors to provide a sense of cohesion. In order to draw the viewer's eye in, she has aligned the runners to the center of the page and aligned the border to frame the central image. She utilized the principle of proximity when she grouped the runners and certain words together in order to increase the organization and the ease of comprehension of the design. This design by Nicole Orlean Baumgarten uses the four principles of design. She uses contrast in her design by having the subject of the photo be a more muted brown that has no sharp edges, allowing it to easily contrast with the bright geometric shapes she uses in the background. She uses repetition by repeating shapes in the background and repeating the white highlights found on the face in order to give her design a more consistent feeling. She has aligned the face to the middle of the page, thus ensuring that it is the center of the viewer's focus. Finally, she utilizes the principle of proximity by grouping all of the geometric shapes into the same pattern, thereby creating a more cohesive design.
