GRID POSTER EVALUATION

Post an image of your "Design research grid poster", and discuss the following topics:

• How does your poster "look" like the artist's style? Describe what is unique about their use of the elements and principals....

• What was the type of grid you used ( rule of thirds, asymmetrical, columns, baseline, or your own)?

• What object in your poster "breaks off" the grid?

• How did you lead the viewer through your design? Did you use changes in size, color, contrast, texture, shape....

• What is the most successful part of your design?

Your Design Research Poster must show your understanding and use of a grid structure.
