What did you learn?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In this project, I learned how to apply gestalt principles to arrange basic shapes in a way that conveys a message. I also learned how to use a grid and the rule of thirds to optimize focal point position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was easy?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I found using Figma to be easy; once I had a clear idea of how to portray each line using gestalt principles, it was easy to execute that vision using the tools in Figma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was challenging?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It was challenging to come up with a way to clearly portray each line of the nursery rhyme while also making sure to incorporate six different gestalt principles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could your submission be improved?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure that I like how frames 2 and 4 both use arrows to illustrate continuation and direct viewers’ eyes to the focal point. I might try using a different means of illustrating upward\/downward continuation in one of these frames to improve my submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I thought that the assignment worked well as is, so I would not change anything for the next class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In future assignments or work scenarios, I now know how to optimize placement of design elements by using a grid and the rule of thirds, and I know to avoid certain design crimes like tangents. This will help me to work more efficiently in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The assigned reading from Steven Bradley on the principles of gestalt was helpful to refer back to for descriptions and visual examples of the principles. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
