I have just moved the logo to the bottom right corner of the page. I took the titles and the text to the top left corner. And by doing these I have an invisible line right in the middle of the text, which is what alignment is all about. Having an invisible line that connects all the visual objects.

Poster according to Alignment
I have just moved the logo to the bottom right corner of the page. I took the titles and the text to the top left corner. And by doing these I have an invisible line right in the middle of the text, which is what alignment is all about. Having an invisible line that connects all the visual objects.
Chapter 3
Alignment
- Everything on the page should have a connection.
- The objects should have a visual connection.
- Organize your page.
- Invisible line that connects everything.
- If you put one text in the left side you better put all the text in the left side.
- You can put one part of the text in the right and the other on the left, because their will be an invisible line in the middle.
- You can sometimes break Alignment but you have to do it consciously.

Poster according to proximity
Chapter 2
Proximity
- Don't use all the space. Empty space is not bad.
- When things are related, they should be physically close to each other on your paper.
- When things are not related they need to be away from each other.
- Put things in order.
- The basic purpose of proximity is to organize.
Chapter 1
Chapter one tells us about the four basic design principles-
- Contrast- the idea is not to put objects that are similar
- Repetition- repeat some shapes or colors it will catch people's eyes
- Alignment- connection between the objects on the page
- Proximity- Items that are related should be close to each other

Graphic Design
1. How would you define graphic design or Design? When did it start?
- Graphic design is when you design logo or something else that will be understandable by must people. For example the train sign, everyone understand what the train sign means. Graphic design can be used for brands, Trademarks etc. The graphic design have started in the 15th century in Italy.
- Technology is a branch that deals with our daily problems and trying to find solutions that will make our life easier. The technology always needs fit the function.
- Design and Technology are pretty much related to each other because you always need to design the technology so it will fit its function and you can always use technology to design your new tech. After people have designed the computer they had started to do graphic design on the computer which I think was much faster and easier. So technology and design are connected to each other because you need design for technology and you need technology for design.
- Kind of, I started to understand that technology is an important of the design. And the design is an important part of the technology.
| Research method | Design process | |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation for research | Literature review | Study historic and contemporary examples, media |
| Information gathering. Goal: to limit variables and identify problem | Collection of preliminary field data | Experimentation with materials and visual ideas |
| Identification of problem and hypothesis | Information correlated; problem defined; educated guesses made; hypotheses stated; research design prepared | Design problem identified through visual analysis and recognition |
| Exposition of facts and interpretation | Research plan is carried out; results are analyzed, plan is modified as necessary based on results; experiments are replicated | Work is created in a series, with each work suggesting problems to explore in subsequent work |
| Presentation of results and findings | Publication of findings | Exhibition of work or production of design |
