Blog post: Design Blitz

Throughout this unit, you've learned about several design concepts:

• Color
• Typography
• Metaphors/symbols
• Minimalism & use of space
• Form/function/message
• Balance
• Rhythm
• Proportion
• Dominance
• Unity

After reading and reviewing the assignment document, you should be able to provide a basic explanation of each of these concepts. To reinforce your understanding, we want you to undertake a “Design Blitz”. Carry your camera with you this unit and take photos of objects, ads, signs, etc. that illustrate one of these concepts. When you have completed your Design Blitz, write a blog post that embeds the photos and your analysis of the design elements and what makes them effective or not. (You can do this in one single post if you like, or in several.) Provide an example of at least five of the concepts listed above. Make sure to tag your blog post "Design Blitz. PRO TIP: Sometimes we can learn just as much from badly designed things as we can from well-designed things! So feel free to include bad elements as examples to avoid.

Once you have published your blog post, submit the blog post URL to complete the assignment.
