Presentation done for Visual Communication Design 1 at the University of Notre Dame.
Assignment was to do a biographical presentation on a graphic designer of our choosing. Because of my interests in both design and film, I chose to do Saul Bass.
In this presentation we examine the use of Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity as elements of good design, found in the Joshua Tree Epiphany.

Contrast
Contrast simply means difference. And for whatever reason—perhaps our brains think they are
still back in the savannah scanning for wild predators—we are all wired to notice differences.
We are not conscious of it, but we are scanning and looking for similarities and differences all
the time. Contrast is what we notice, and it’s what gives a design its energy. So you should make
elements that are not the same clearly different, not just slightly different.
Contrast is one of the most powerful design concepts of them all because really any design
element can be contrasted with another. You can achieve contrast in many ways—for example,
through the manipulation of space (near and far, empty and lled), through color choices (dark
and light, cool and warm), by text selection (serif and sans serif, bold and narrow), by
positioning of elements (top and bottom, isolated and grouped), and so on.
Making use of contrast can help you create a design in which one item is clearly dominant. This
helps the viewer “get” the point of your design quickly. Every good design has a strong and clear
focal point and having a clear contrast among elements (with one being clearly dominant) helps.
If all items in a design are of equal or similar weight with weak contrast and with nothing being
clearly dominant, it is dif cult for the viewer to know where to begin. Designs with strong
contrast attract interest, and help the viewer make sense of the visual. Weak contrast is not only
boring, but it can be confusing. Every single element of a design such as line, shape, color,
texture, size, space, type, and so on can be manipulated to create contrast. On the next page are
some slides that make good use of contrast compared with slides that have weaker contrast.
Repetition
The principle of repetition simply means the reusing of the same or similar elements throughout
your design. Repetition of certain design elements in a slide or among a deck of slides will bring
a clear sense of unity, consistency, and cohesiveness. Where contrast is about showing
differences, repetition is about subtly using elements to make sure the design is viewed as being
part of a larger whole. If you use a stock template from your software application, then repetition
is already built into your slides. For example, a consistent background and consistent use of type
adds unity across a deck of slides.
However, you must be careful not to have too much repetition among your slides. Most of the
built-in templates have been seen many times before and may not suit your unique situation.
Many of the standard templates also have background elements that will soon become tiring,
rather than generating interest the tenth time a different slide is shown but with the same
repetitive element. For example, a star sh in the lower right (not my favorite but perhaps
appropriate for a presentation on marine biology) is an element that would
be a stronger repetitive element if.
Principles of Design for slideshare.pdfPurnoor Khan
The principles of design are the rules a designer must follow to create an effective and attractive composition. The fundamental principles of design are: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement and White Space.
Design differs from art in that it has to have a purpose. Visually, this functionality is interpreted by making sure an image has a center of attention, a point of focus. Elements of design are the parts or we can say collection of abstract tools. They structure and carry the work.
Principles of design are concepts. These are basic rules or guidelines for any action, idea, reasoning or thought. They affect content and message.
This is a presentation I created to communicate simple steps for creating a digital story. It also links to a googlesite I created that has more resources. I created this for a group of undergraduate students at UMaine who were going on a community service project and were assigned a digital storytelling project to communicate their experience working and living on a remote island in Maine for a week.
Screencasting for the flipped classroomGemma Scott
This short presentation was created for a workshop I conducted for College of Education and Human Development faculty to support flipping their classes.
This slideshow is about assessment design and the idea of using simulation for assessment.

In this research, it concludes that while the readiness of teachers in Caloocan City to implement the MATATAG Curriculum is generally positive, targeted efforts in professional development, resource distribution, support networks, and comprehensive preparation can address the existing gaps and ensure successful curriculum implementation.
How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.

even more subtly and thoroughly than verbal
language, the structure of our consciousness.

5. Form and Content
Form is what we see; Content is what we interpret as the meaning of what we see.

12. Repetition
Robin’s Principle of Repetition:
“Repeat some aspect of the design throughout the entire
piece.” The repetitive element may be a font, color, design
element, format, spatial relationship, etc.

17. Alignment: Line variations
a. actual line b. implied line
c. Actual straight lines and
implied curved lines
d. Line created by an edge e. Vertical line (attitude of alert
attention); horizontal line
(attitude of rest).
f. Diagonal line (slow
action, fast action)
g. Sharp, jagged line h. Dance of curving lines i. Hard line, soft line j. Ragged, irregular line
21. When the form and function of an object or image do not complement each
other, the object or image is poorly designed. Good design solves problems,
bad design creates problems.
