LECTURES

Lecture 6 - POSTER DESIGN

The basic principles of design are: emphasis, balance and alignment, contrast, repetition, proportion, movement and white space.

Fig.6

The 7 principles of poster design ：

1. EMPHASIS

Designers must follow design principles in order to create compositions that are both effective and attractive.

2. Balance and alignment

3. CONTRAST

The contrast is off the page. Contrast creates space and difference between your design elements.

4. REPETITION

Repetition can unify and strengthen the design.

5. PROPORTION

Proportion is the visual size and weight of the elements in a composition, and their relationship to each other.

6. MOVEMENT

Movement is the element that controls the composition. Movement creates the story or narrative of the work.

7. WHITE SPACE

White space or negative white space is the only space dedicated to dealing with no additions. Giving your composition more space can go from mediocrity to success.
