I thought it would be interesting to show you all and get your opinions on the poster and how well they incorporated the four principles of sound design - Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity. If you need a refresher, I found a great article/presentation on the different principles of design: C.R.A.P. Principles of Design
I personally am not sure how I feel about the numbering and and placement of the captions. I also feel that it looks to be a little bit crowded. Maybe more white space is needed? I think if the designer had focused more on proximity and knowing that grouping things closely together creates the idea that they are related, he/she may have separated the different captions and images of the shirts/bow tie a little more. I know it's also a minor detail, but the line on number 6 is not centered with the box like the other lines are. I also think it's odd that number four has no line when the others do.
What are your thoughts?
Kara,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your initial assessment. It seems strange that the numbering keeps switching back and forth from the left to right side of the text. I also think that because the shirt pictures are so close together, the individual steps get a little lost. One of the ways that they might have been able to draw more attention to each step is by changing the color of the numbers. Maybe a red to match the tie? I do think that the pictures are good. I just wish there was more space or delineation between them. Fun post!

Yes Jen! I completely agree! I was a little lost too with the numbers/steps and the images they went along with! Thanks for your input!
