Elements and Principles of Design

At the beginning of this project I had no idea how I would be able to find all twenty nine images. However, after starting my walk around campus I began noticing things that I never had before. Lines were popping up everywhere and patterns were becoming more evident. It did not take me as long to find the images as I had thought, but the composition made up for my speedy finds of all the elements and principles. Lining up all of the descriptions and photos into the grid that I had intended was way harder than I thought! Photos had to be cropped, sentences had to be shortened, and so many problems kept arising. From this I learned that things that I set out to do, especially computer oriented tasks, take twice as long as you think in the beginning. I was happy to learn so many things on the computer though and I feel that I gained what I needed from this project to move on and create better examples of my work.
