This Basic design Presentation serves the purpose of initiating creativity and there by appreciation of visual language.
Basic design studios help to unlock students creativity and enhance spatial perception.
There are a lot of rules and best practices to consider when designing anything (regardless of the medium– website, print campaign, keynote presentation, etc.), and the process can easily become overwhelming to the uninitiated. Fortunately, various sets of principles exist to help lay out the general premise of a design. There are nine principles, and the process becomes vastly simpler after learning the concepts behind this set. Most of the time, after some practice and comprehension, the principles begin to work subconsciously within the back of your mind, guiding the creative process.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.

2. Introduction
Scale vs. Proportion:
Scale = Size
Proportion = relative size,
the size of an object as
measured in comparison to
another object or against
some mental norm or
standard.
(The term proportion is often
used with math and ratios.)
A Richard Roth. Untitled. 1983. Installation: 11 ユ diameter (3.4 m)
sphere with red stool. ゥ 1993 Richard Roth. Photo: Fredrik
Marsh.and Donors. c. late 1440s. Altarpiece from the church of the
Villa Alessandri, Vincigliata Fiesole, central panel
3. Using Scale and Proportion for
Emphasis
Large scale can make for a very
obvious focal point, or create visual
emphasis.
Scale and Proportion are closely tied
to emphasis and focal point.
Hieratic Scaling = in art history, visual
scale (how big something is in a
painting) was often directly related
to the importance of the subject.
Example: A king, Jesus, or the
Madonna would be bigger than
surrounding people. C Fra Filippo Lippi. Saint Lawrence Enthroned with Saints and
Donors. c. late 1440s. Altarpiece from the church of the Villa
Alessandri, Vincigliata Fiesole, central panel only. Tempera on wood,
gold ground; overall, with added strips: 3 ユ 11 3/4 モ 3 ユ 9 1/2 モ
(121.3 115.6 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
(Rogers Fund, 1935, 35.31.1a).
4. Scale of Art
Human Scale Reference
“One way to think of artistic scale is to consider the
scale of the work itself, it’s size in relation to other
art, in relation to its surroundings, or in relation to
human size.”
Fresco - A mural painting technique in which pigments
mixed in water are used to form the desired color.
These pigments are then applied to wet lime plaster,
thereby binding with and becoming an integral part of
a wall.
5. The Power of Unusual Scale
Large Artworks
Size can be impressive
Unusual or unexpected scale is arresting and attention-getting.
“A magnification such as this allows us to see the form with
fresh eyes, and, as a result, we might discover new
associations.”
6. Small Artworks
Very small artworks
impress with their attention
to detail.
An immensity of
information on an intimate
scale.
A Chinese medallion. Ming Dynasty, late 16th, early 17th century.
Front view: carved in high relief with scene of the return by moonlight
of a party from a spring outing. Ivory, diameter: 3 3/8” (8.6 cm). The
Metropolitan Museum of Art, purchase, Friends of Asian Art Gifts,
1993 (1993.176).
7. Context
Earthworks = Moving or
altering earth to create an
image over large areas.
They are unique in the
grandeur of their scale.
Can be experienced fully
from high up or distance.
* Also see the work of Andrew
Goldsworthy.
A Nazca earth drawing. Spider. Approximately 150’ long.
8. Things to think about:
What would happen if we magnified simple objects to
provide a new way of looking at them.
How do artists consider the Location?
Where will it be displayed?
How would they use size in proportion to setting?
What is the natural landscape like?
9. Large Scale Sculpture Example…
“As with the work of other pop
artists, this piece calls
attention to an everyday object
not previously considered
worthy of aesthetic
consideration. Oldenburg
transforms the object by
elevating it to a monumental
scale. A magnification such as
this allows us to see the form
with fresh eyes, and, as a
result, we might discover new
associations, such as the
graceful strands of the brush,
which project upward like a
fountain.” B Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. Typewriter Eraser,
Scale X. 1999. Stainless steel and cement, approximately 20 ユ tall.
National Gallery of Art, Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C. (gift of
The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, 1998.150.1). D The
Anti-Advertising Agency. Some Kid. PDF submission of proposed
billboard
10. Scale Within Art
Internal References
“Scale within a work of art provides meaning, context,
and often a clue to how it was made or how we are
meant to interpret the image or object.”
• Is it bigger than I am?
• Is it smaller than I am?
• Are we the same size?
Psychologically this can be very powerful.
11. Scale Within Art
Internal Proportions
You can also consider the scale of objects in relation
to one another inside of the composition.
(Also know as Proportion.)
• Regular placement and geometric repeating elements
give a feel of calm and quiet order.
• Large figures crowded together can impart a feeling of
claustrophobia and chaos.
• When things are out of proportion it feels negative.”
(If this is the intent of the artist, they can use it to create
a particular effect.)
12. Using Scale to Effect
B Domenico Ghirlandaio. Last Supper. c. 1480. Fresco, 25 ユ 7” (8
m) wide. San Marco, Florence.
C Emil Nolde. The Last Supper. 1909. Oil on canvas, 2 ユ 10 5/8”
3 ユ 6 1/2” (88 108 cm). Statens Museum for Kunst,
Copenhagen.
An artist can use scale and proportion to create an emotional effect in the viewer.
Compare and Contrast these two images.
13. Unexpected or Exaggerated Scale
Contrast of Scale
Scale can be used to draw notice to the unexpected or
exaggerated.
A sudden change in scale surprises us and gets our
attention. Example: When small objects are
magnified or large objects made tiny.
Large and small scale can be combined for dramatic
contrast and visual interest.
14. Manipulating Scale and Proportion
Surrealism and Fantasy
Often uses change of scale
Surrealism—an art form based on
paradoxes; images that cannot be
explained in rational terms.
Magritte challenges the viewer with
a confusion of scale.
In other words the viewer has to
stop and think of the objects and
what they know and expect to see.
Enigmatic – mysterious or unknown.
A Rene Magritte. Personal Values (Les Valeurs Personnelles). 1952.
Oil on canvas, 2 ユ 7 1/2 モ 3 ユ 3 3/8 モ (80.01 100.01 cm).
15. Proportion
Notions of the Ideal
Proportion is linked to ratio.
The average adult is 7 and 1/2 heads tall.
Ancient Greeks desired to discover ideal proportions
based on mathematical ratios.
Fashion illustration uses a 10 heads tall model.
16. Finding the Golden Rectangle
Golden Rectangle - Width is to
length as length is to length
plus width
(w:1 as 1:1 + w)
Influenced art throughout
the ages
Found in natural growth
patterns. Trees, shells, etc…
Use by the Greeks in the
building of the Parthenon.
A A golden rectangle can be created by rotating the diagonal
of the half-square.
17. The Golden Rectangle continued…
Golden Mean – The ratio of the golden rectangle.
The ratio of the golden mean can be found in the
Fibonacci Sequence.
Fibonacci Sequence
A counting sequence in which each new number is the
sum of the previous 2.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,…
18. The Golden Mean - 3:5 Ratio
You can find numerous examples
of these proportions in nature, the
human body, and design.
We see this 3:5 ratio expressed in
music (harmonies of thirds, fifths,
and octaves).
And we find it in growth patterns
in nature.
In art, the 3:5 proportion is well
suited to figure and landscape
paintings.
C George Inness. View of the Tiber near Perugia. 1872-1874. Oil on
canvas, 3’ 2 9/16” 5’ 3 9/16” (98 161.5 cm). National Gallery of Art,
Washington, D.C. (Ailsa Mellon Bruce Fund, 1973.16.1).
19. Root Rectangles in Art and Design
Root Rectangles are derived from the
square.
Examples of root rectangles include;
Root 2, Root 3 and Root 5.
Roots offer artist new methods for
exploration.
Roots often result in agreeable
proportions. (They look nice.)
Altering proportions can also get
our attention
