Review Week 5

For each of the 5 elements of design (shape, line, texture, space, value), find an example that utilizes each element within the design (Google search for poster design, advertisements, etc). You should have 5 DIFFERENT sample designs. 

For each, evaluate the design in 4 to 5 sentences. Label each with the appropriate element. Then, discuss how that particular element is used and how it enhances the design

5 elements of design:

Shape: This image represents shape because it is made up of many shapes that form together to spell a word.  No text was used in the picture, but the way the objects were arranged makes it look like there is text.  The  element of shape uses organic and  geometric shapes to create other images.

No text was used in the picture, but the

element of shape uses organic and 

geometric shapes to create

other images.

Value: Value is the use of black and
white to add a special effect to the
image.  For example, in this picture
there are shadows and lighting techniques
that make the images look more real.
Since there is a more contrast in
color, it makes the shapes stand out more. 

Line: This adveritsment uses the element

of line.  In this case, horizontal lines.  

Horizontal lines usually mean rest. 

There could also be vertical, inticating

height; or diagonal, meaning movement. 

This picture uses lines to create 

letters that spell out their company

name.  Lines can also be used to 

give movement to an image.

Texture: Texture makes a  2D image look 3D.  It tries to make it look like the object in the picture is  right there in front of  you.  In this picture the  paper looks crinkled that  gives it a 3D look.

you.  In this picture the 

paper looks crinkled that 

gives it a 3D look.

Space: The element of space consists  of positive and negative space.  Usually  in images using the element of space there is two images that you  can see.  In this picture the black appears as two faces where as the white looks like a vase.  This also happens with black and white patterns.
