Week 1 - Original Scans (with comments)

Below are the my original scans for the 21 'design principles' sketches. The sketches in the images demonstrate the 7 design principles and, in addition to that, the scans also demonstrate 'design principle' elements.

Datum

The above image shows contrast in the large area of black sandwiched between the two white spaces. There is also the asymmetry in the image, with half the image being the white sketch and the other half, the black section and a white 'cut-out' area. The black shape almost hints at being defined as 'datum' in the top left corner as well.

Contrast

 The contrast scan has contrast within it too. Again the black contrasts against the white, but but in addition to this the green contrast against the black. This scan also includes a hint of hierarchy and figure ground with the sketches in the foreground being more important than the green shape behind it or the black of the background.

Hierarchy

 This image of the hierarchy sketches also uses the hierarchy and figure ground techniques. The sketches in the foreground are the most important thing, followed by the layered objects behind to the left. Again there is the contrast of the black and the white. The arrangement and composition of the pencil, the green card, and the pencil case on the left of the sketches, is positioned on the bottom left point in the 'rule of thirds' creating a sort of focal point in the image.
