Building your creative eye

A creative eye is necessary to be a good graphic designer. You must train your eye to look for design elements in ways unfamiliar to it. Once you can see these design elements, you will be able to utilize them in future projects and throughout your career.

Tonight, I will have you look for some of these design elements and show me how YOU see them.

Using a digital camera, go out into the world and find me 25 examples of EACH of the following:

Pattern

Scale

Rhythm

Negative Space

Contrast

They must all be of DIFFERENT subject matter! No photographing the same thing 50 times and counting it as two of these categories. If you need to borrow a digital camera from the HEC, we will have those available during class to check out.

HOMEWORK

• SAVE ALL 125 OF YOUR PHOTOS AS .jpgs PLEASE!

• These will be due at the beginning of class on Monday.

• You have all weekend, so take your time and get me GOOD examples of these!
