Descriptors: Analyze, Elements of Design, Principles of Design
Title: An Analysis of the Effective Use of the Elements and
Principles of Design
Course: Foundations 100
Date Created: August 2002
Source: Individual project
Media: Originally a picture from a website that was downloaded
into a Power Point slide
Description: Students were asked to find examples of the
various TA topics, with the exception of Computer Science. Students
were required to describe the examples and where they came from, analyze
each example based on elements included. Students had to interpret what
the creator had been attempting to show the viewer. Students had to
provide a judgment as to whether or not the work was effective.
Rationale: Elements and Principles of Design are important to
any multimedia presentation, be it a website, video, or simple slide
show. By going through the process of finding the different elements,
the students learned how to look at the products with a more discernable
eye. The student was required to evaluate the technology applications
on a more complicated plain than just through personal opinion and
training.
The entire process of setting up the various examples enabled the
student to apply the foundations of the TA course.
Implications for future: Learning the elements of design
early in our TATC course will allow us to have a more discriminating eye
to what we produce throughout the learning process. It will also be
very beneficial to me in assisting the various campus webmasters in
knowing what will catch the eye of any individual.
Reviewers Comments: Good job.
