Review and Assess

Assess the students understanding of the Principles and Elements of design. They will be given a brief test asking them to list and define the primary principles and elements of design. This will be followed with a timed exercise on the computer that asks them to design an advertising page layout for a specific product or service. They will be provided a digital worksheet with all visual elements required to complete the exercise. They must be guided by design principles as they organize and design an original page layout. These collective exercises will then be hung on the wall where a group evaluation will be discussed. Each student will be asked to share their concerns as they worked to solve this visual problem.
