Feedback LECTURES Lecture 6 :  Visual Analysis Visual analysis  is a method of understanding design focused on visual elements and principles. It can recognise the choice that a designer made when creating a design and understanding the properties of design create visual communication. It has 3 phases : Phase 1: Observation Closely looking and identifying the visual elements of a design Describe them carefully and accurately in ones own words without reading beforehand about the design Looking, thinking and finding good language to communicate what one notice Phase 2: Analysis Requires one to think about the observations and try to make statements Combine visual elements identified to create design principles that complete that work Phase 3: Interpretation Fuse facts with observations, description...

It is processed 60000x faster in the brain than text. Besides that 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual. Design significance is where. one is able to identify the social,  cultural & political sphere where design elements reside.  Figure 1.0 Example of Design Significance from Lecture Slide Design systems are separated by basic assumptions (values, principles & practices) then norms and values (look & feel, design elements & design functions) and artifacts and products (tools & technology).  Figure 1.1 Example of Design System from Lecture Slide Design Sensitivity Cultural Sensitivity Awareness Symbolism and Imagery: May carry different meanings in different cultures. Designers should be min...

Feedback LECTURES Lecture 0 : Introduction   Elements of Design (Individual Building Blocks) Point - simplest element of design and used as repetitive mark forms a line Line - can be active or static, aggressive or passive, sensual or mechanical, can indicate directions, define boundaries and imply volumes Shape - expanse within outline of 2 dimensional area and has 2 generic category ( geometric & organic) Form - 3 dimensional area that has volume (enclosed space) Texture - tactile qualities of surfaces or the visual representation of those qualities and also has 2 categories (actual & simulated/implied) Space - indefinable, general receptacle of things Colour - visual byproduct of the spectrum of light ( Hue, Value, Intensity) Colour grouping that provide distinct colour harmonies are called co...
