Design Principles - 2008

This class was delivered to design students at the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2008.

Essentially an introduction to basic design theory, principles and practice. Students are asked to create a series of visual designs that become increasingly more complex using the basic building blocks of design - (the dot, circle, square, line, texture and color) described by Armin Hofmann in his Design Manual.

Students employ a variety of grids in order to study and analyse line, shape, form and other visual constructions and produce a series of small books detailing their findings.
