Demonstrations :Experiments

As we experimented with a variety of techniques it was for a purpose in mind.  Learning about the elements and principles, and having a way to experiment with design ideas without applying great skill.  The mock- ups that you create should showcase this.

These are the examples of Elements and Principles made through App Play on my iPad.  This was one day's worth of experiments on your iPad.

This mandala shape was created with the Photo Collage App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Radial Balance.	This square shape was created with the Fragment App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Symmetrical Balance.	This square shape was created with theDali Camera App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Asymmetrical Balance.
This square shape was created with the  Photo Collage App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Symmetrical Balance.	This square shape was created with the  Photo Collage App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Proportion and the Golden Mean.	This square shape was created with the  Photo Collage App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Proportion and focal point.
This square shape was created with the  Photo Collage App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Asymmetry, Focal Point and the Golden Mean.	This square shape was created with the  Photo Collage App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Movement through Diagonal Lines which create Approximate Symmetry.	This square shape was created with the  Photo Collage App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Symmetry and Focal Point and a good example of a shape inside a shape composition design.
This square shape was created with the  Photo Collage App on my iPad from photographs of experiments and represents the Design Principal of Rhythm.	This is organic line in swirled colors made with acrylic paint and shaving cream, the foil shape is also an example of texture.	This mono-type -  table print has  colors which create a focal point with the subordinate complementary color of blue to orange.
