D#6, HW#2 - Harmony In Design Part 2: Repetition » SitePoint - 0 views

  • consistency and harmony
    • Daniel Throckmorton
       
      I think it should be added that it also helps guide the reader through the page.
  • silhouetted pigeon images are repeated on three lines down the cover
  • immediately a sense of harmony
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • repeat
  • That leaves room for individual illustrations for each cover, without losing the visual harmony that has been established through the series.
  • The orange and tan color scheme is repeated in the navigation and main drawing on the site
  •  
    This website gave graphical representations of repetition from different aspects of design.  I found the poster of the movie "The Ugly Truth" rather humorous.

      Repetition is a great technique that goes along well with balance. It helps create more visual effects to catch the eye. Here we learn that images and text need uniformity and repetition.
  • repetition
  • Design elements can be photographs, illustrations, type, headlines, backgrounds and textures (and anything else you might like to add to your design)
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • visual harmony is the agreement or balance between design elements.
  • Two or more identical, or near identical elements are not only an expression of visual agreement, but the repetition also helps to catch and draw the eye into your design.

    This was my favorite of the different sites that I found on the topic of repetition. I thought that this site very closely followed what the Basic's of Design taught on the subject. The site gave a background of what repetition is and why it is important. It also gave great examples of different forms of repetition such as; repetition of a image/icon, border, or decoration. It really helped me understand why repetition is such a key component in design!

    This website is a good, quick overview of certain parts of repetition in design. I like that they give picture examples to illustrate them.
  •  
    This web page caught my eye because it provided many examples of what repetition should be look like in different works .
  •  
    This is my favorite of the website I found that helped supplement my understanding for several reasons. I think the examples are great. Not only that it is very similar to the book in that it talks about repeating visual elements such as images, lines, even typefaces. The series of books are a perfect example because they show you can use repetition without being identical, as long as it is conceptual related. 
  •  
    I like this article because it gives visual examples of repetition used in books, movies, and ads. 
  •  
    This website has good examples of repetition and they explain it better when having an image. They have good images and good explanation.

    DD7 HW1 This website has powerful (and beautiful) examples about flow. The author breaks the root of the movement in to subtopics like lines, shapes, color and tone so that you can really see what is happening.

How To Control Flow Within Your Web Designs - 2 views

  • Visual design has a flow as well. You have something to communicate and you want your audience to take in different parts of your page. Some elements of the design are more important and you want to make sure they’re seen right away, and some elements of the design are best seen after having first seen a different part of the design.
  • Design flow (also referred to as movement or direction) is the way the eye moves or is led through a composition
  • Repetition in color, shape, and size create a path that can pull you to move in a certain direction.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • • Arrows – again it’s difficult not to visually follow the direction an arrow points• People/Faces looking in one direction – similar to arrows when we see a person facing or looking in a given direction, we tend to also look to see what they’re looking at.• Perspective – creates strong visual cues to follow. By it’s nature perspective creates a direction that begs to be followed. If all roads lead to Rome, you’re going to end up in Rome at some point
  • The large black circle in the upper left is the entry point into the painting. It’s the first thing you notice. It’s larger and darker than anything else on the page. It holds more visual weight than any other element in the painting.
  • Space can imply flow in a variety of ways. The space between elements creates paths of emptiness much like footpaths through a forest of garden. An element with visual weight calls for you to rest your eyes on it. Space gives you room to move around elements.

    I liked this article the best. It discuses flow within web designs and it covers all the basis for smooth flow for people that are trying to create their own web page. It covers what design flow is and gives an image example of how flow flows within a graphic design. The author states that it is important to create an entry point, "something that stands out from everything else so that most people look at it first". The author also gives advice on controling flow within a design by using arrows, people or faces that look in a certain direction, and perspective. Using space to control flow is something that I found interesting the author states that "varying the space between a series of elements can be used to create rhythm and motion".

    a good site that shows how to improve web design with flow
  •  
    This website does a great job explaining the importance of flow in your design. It also gives great examples, mainly of we pages most of which are blogs. I thought this could help us improve our blogs also it is great for those of us who are visual learners to get the importance of flow by all the examples shown.

    This site includes several visuals to supplement the presented material on using flow in page design. The primary elements are most important and are intended to be seen first. Other elements are best viewed after the primary element. This hierarchy can be established through flow. An entry point is something that stands out from everything else so that the audience will look at it first. Obvious directional cues include arrows, people/faces looking in one direction, and perspective. Repetition and space can also be used to create flow.
  •  
    I found this website to be very helpful when it came to discussing flow and how to achieve that. Besides talking about using visual cues to guide the readers eyes, using space to control flow, and creating harmony using flow, it also gives examples of various websites that have demonstrated good flow of design.

    Control the way your eyes moves through a design by starting off with an object that will catch the viewers attention. How to control the flow oif your design by using visual cues to guide the eyes in that direction. Creating space to control flow and also creating harmony using flow.

    I think this site shows balance because of its asymmetrical elements. The logo and title is to the right and the menu is to the left, but not equal. The display of the product is symmetrical right through the center. It's an example of the "focus achieving a harmonious balance."
