  • Demonstrate use of alignment
  • Demonstrate use of proximity
  • Work independently

Upload poster to your blog & send to kwilkens@stab.org.

Reflection
Identify how your poster uses:

  • Contrast - Difference...we're all wired to notice difference
  • Repetition - Reusing of the same or similar elements throughout your design. Repetition of certain design elements ... will bring a clear sense of unity, consistency, and cohesiveness
  • Alignment - ...Nothing in your design should look as if it were placed there randomly. Every element is connected visually via an invisible line. Alignment is about obtaining unity among elements.
  • Proximity - ...related items should be grouped together so that they will be viewed as a group, rather than as several unrelated elements
