Week 2: Content Creation Using Design Principles
This week I chose to create the following:
This pamphlet was created directly in Canva for EDU with all imagery licences through Canva. Instead of a link (since this is intended to be a physical product) I included a QR code for students to interact with and access my YouTube channel.
And I incorporated a number of design elements, including:
Repetition (with the included imagery)
Alignment (with the imagery and text elements)
Contrast (with font types)
Repetition
Proximity (with spacing of elements)
Pamphlet - Front Page
Pamphlet - Back Page
Since my intention with this was to create something that students can learn more about the course on the first day, I felt I “had to” include a fair amount of text to inform the students, but I felt it was a little text heavy. This is something I tried to limit, but struggled with.
I decided to use Google Slides for this task to create a step-by-step guide for my students to create an animated cartoon of themselves in Adobe’s Character Animator app. The design principles I focussed on mostly in this were Contrast, Symmetry, Repetition, and Alignment. I also added visuals with the use of gifs converted from edited screen recordings videos, using the site https://cloudconvert.com/ for the conversions from video to gif.
The slides template used is from slidescarnival.com and is copyright free (once transformed into something new).
I chose to make this infographic in Canva for EDU again. All imagery were sourced directly in Canva. I incorporated a variety of design elements, with Symmetry the one I focussed on most, as well as trying to use complementary colours.
