REFLECTION:

From the learning period of fourteen weeks, I learned that an artwork need to have design principles in it to make it beautiful or good to look. Gestalt make a visual illusion, Contrast point out the main point with brightness, Emphasis have a highly colour contrast, Balance lets the artwork looks equal even see from different view, Repetition can motivate an artwork, Movement show out the curve of moving, Harmony makes the artwork look like staying in one universe that having one element only, Unity united all the object in the artwork, Symbol need to be simple, Word & Image makes a poster.
