About The Projects
Each project is based on design theory learned materials, such as design elements, design principles, Gestalt theory, color theory, typography theory, composition, layout, grid, etc.
Working with the projects help students to understand the importance of design theories and use them on practice.
Almost each project requires to follow the design process:
1. To do the research and define the problem.
2. To generate as many ideas as possible through multiple thumbnail sketches.
3. To select two or three of the stronger thumbnails and develop them into roughs.
4. To create a comprehensive for the class presentation and submit to instructor for review (to be presented to the client in real life).
