Design Principles Poster, 5.01

Create a poster highlighting all of the principles of design:

  • Balance: Macro and Micro range
  • Focalization of Interest
  • Simplicity
  • Rhythm and Line
  • Proportion
  • Unity

Now, you will create a masterpiece poster that illustrates each of the principles of design. For each principle listed you will need to find one picture of a garden that represents this principle. You will then label which principle you are illustrating and then you will explain how this garden exemplifies the principle.

When you get to unit, you will find ONE picture of a garden that represents unity and write one paragraph why you feel this represents unity. Then, you will find ONE picture of a garden that you feel lacks unity and you will write one paragraph as to why this does not represent unity.

When completed, place on the back black tables.
