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?

WORKING WITH A GRID....

Designers often create a visual "grid" to organize information. Type and images can "hang" on the grid lines, even if the grid is invisible in the printed image.

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

Here are some links to more info on grids and samples of grid layouts...
