design thinking practice

This week's creative practice is to continue training your eye to think in shape, space and composition.

Using a single shape (even one you make up) create as many different compositions as you can. Focus on experimenting with the design principles we explored in class:

+ Visual Weight
+ Balance
+ Alignment
+ Repetition
+ Rhythm
+ Contrast
+ Proportion

Treat this as an exercise in observation and play. Notice how changing the size, placement and spacing of the same simple shape can completely transform the feeling of a composition. Explore how many different ways you can express the same design principle within Procreate.
