Formal Principles of Design

When the practiced eye looks at a page or a poster or a room and declares it good design or bad design, what are they talking about? It can take years of work to attain an "expert's eye," but practitioners in many fields can benefit from greater familiarity with some of the formal principles of design. In this workshop we will introduce, illustrate, and get a little hands-on practice with concepts such as balance, emphasis, movement, pattern, repetition, proportion, rhythm, variety, and unity.
