Two-Dimensional Design.

Catalog description

Introduction to the principles of two-dimensional concepts to explore visual vocabulary in design. Particular emphasis is made on representational and abstract aspects of composition to describe shape, structure, and space. Other design issues focus on the application of pictorial elements through pattern, texture, rhythm, balance, gravity, line, and the illusion of three-dimensional effects on two-dimensional surfaces. Color principles, the interaction of color, color phenomena, and the function of color in design are closely examined.
