Poster Design

Fundamental Principles of Design

  • Emphasis
    • focal point/ the part of the design that catches the viewer's attention
  • Balance & Alignment
    • balance: the distribution and visual weight of elements in a composition
    • alignment: the placement of visual elements so they line up in a composition
  • Contrast
    • creates space and difference between elements in a design
    • e.g. background color that is different from the element's colour to ensure readability and harmony.
    • Repetition
      • reusing the same elements throughout the design
      • unifies and strengthens a design
      • e.g. if only 1 thing on your band poster is in blue italic sans-serif, it can read like an error; if 3 things are in blue italic sans-serif, it looks like a design
    • Proportion 
      • the visual size and weight of elements in a composition and how they relate to each other
      • approach the design in sections, instead of as a whole
    • Movement
      • control the elements in your composition to guide the viewer's eye and effectively convey information 
      • creates the story of the work
    • White Space/ Negative Space
      • the empty page around the elements in a composition 
      • gives a composition more room to breathe
