Let's follow the basic definition for graphic design and the four principles.
Answer these questions as they come up, in a Powerpoint presentation:
Slide 1 -- put your name in the title box and answer these questions in the body:
1. What elements does graphic design use? Hint, there are two elements used in graphic design.
2. What forms of communication use graphic design?
3. Could a business card be considered a target for graphic design?
Using images in your powerpoint program (go to the insert tab on the right and look for "shapes"
Slide two
Create one slide that represents proximity.
Slide three
Create a slide that represents alignment.
Slide four
Create a slide that represents repetition. You may try to color your shapes here
Slide five
Create a slide that represents contrast
Balance
Another element of graphic design is balance. Think of the objects in a slide as having weight. A small object or photographed element is light and a larger one is heavy. Most works of graphic design are balanced, meaning the text and/or the photos on one side of the work are equal in size to those on the other
