Design Principles Exercise 2

Exercise 2

The exercise 2 ask us should choose two principles from Emphasis/ Balance / Repetition / Movement. Create 1 design for each chosen principle. I choose Repetition and Movement as the design principle for my work.


 A summary of lecture topics 


  • principle of repetition


The principle of repetition refers to the repetition of visual elements in the layout, such as colors, fonts, graphics, shapes, materials, spatial relations, etc. Using the repetition principle can not only increase the order of the picture, but also strengthen the unity, make the layout more hierarchical and logical, and improve the reading efficiency and information transmission. Regular repetition can create a sense of rhythm and rhythmic beauty, enhancing the impression of the viewer.

  • principle of movement

Movement means guiding the user's eye to a predetermined path in a composition. When a viewer views a design they are first attracted to the focal points of the design. By careful placement of these focal points, designers can easily guide the viewer through the design.

my design process:


  • I used more than ten repeated balls to make the work vivid by making differences in size and position, and finally formed a work like the letter S


  • I use lines to record the process of a person bending over to show the details of a movement, which is similar to a frame animation. It will remind us of the movement process of the person in our mind and give the work a feeling of movement. At the same time I used colored lines to distinguish very similar movements so that we could observe them more clearly.

Information Design / Exercises

Final Outcome Quantify & Visualize:12/01/2023 / Week 1-Week 3 Song Yang / 0355576 Information Design / Bachelor of Creative Media / Taylor's University INSTRUCTIONS  EXERCISE 1 Quantify & Visualize data  We are required to quantify our chosen items and arrange the objects into a presentable layout or chart. I decided to use coins for this exercise.  Fig. 1.1 – Instructions for Exercise 1 I collected data on coins around the house as informational posters  Fig. 1.2 – Data (box of coins)  Final Outcome Quantify & Visualize: Fig 1.3 - Final Exercise 1: Quantify Data   EXERCISE 2 L.A.T.C.H (Location / Alphabet / Time / Category / Hierarchy) For Exercise 2, we are going to organize a group of information into a visual poster that combined and utilizes the LATCH principles. I decided to go with Pokémon's Pokédex, following the link provided in the slides.  Fig. 2.1 - Instructions for exercise 2 For Exercise 2, we are going to organize a gro...

Information Design - Project 1

 26.1.2023 - 23.2.2023 (Week 3 - Week 7) Song Yang (0355576) Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media  Information Design Instructable Infographic poster & Motion graphic INSTRUCTIONS For this project, we were assigned to create a teachable poster infographic and an animated infographic video from a video recipe, explaining how to cook/bake our chosen dishes from the Pasta Grandma YouTube channel. I started this project by binge-watching multiple videos from the pasta Granny and decided to make this video on how to make flake bread. Flatbread is found all over Italy, and Enrica shares her recipe for "crostoli" (it's plural and singular is crostolo) here. Lard is a key ingredient, and the way it's made makes delicious pancakes.
