Design Fundamentals: Notes on Visual Elements & Principles of Composition
Miss Visual Elements and Principles of Composition class, again? That's OK. You can borrow our notes.
Lucky for you, we didn't miss a single class the entire semester so you'll find all of the important points explained in the notes, along with the class assignments.
How does a dot turn into a line to create a shape that makes up a composition? We covered that and more. You'll see in the notes that we went over all of the basic elements of composition--dot, line, shape, texture, & pattern, color, and space--as well as the principles for composing the elements on flat surfaces (paper, canvas, screens) and in three dimensions.
We had some pop quizzes in this class so we put those in the notes too so you can test yourself, even if it won't count toward your actual grade.
If anything doesn't make sense in the notes, just go to the class website at design-fundamentals.com. The instructor put extra projects and exercises on the site, a bunch of cool links, recommended reading, that sort of thing. Also, check out our Pinterest boards at Pinterest.com/DSNFundamentals. You could spend hours looking through it all.
Good luck!

The visuals in this books are amazing but the content is very hard for a beginner to understand. You don't get any basic knowledge about things, they just jump directly to the advanced stuff. This is mainly in the end of the book when they talk about color theory and everything after that. Didn't make any sense to me sadly.

Fun visual about color.

Lots of lessons packed into one book. Too much info on each page for me. I am too distracted to organize my thoughts into the compact sessions required by this book. Also tiny print was distracting to me. Probably very helpful if I could get over these hurdles.
