BASIC DESIGN-I

Course Description

The course focuses on the basics of design through design elements and principles such as harmony, contrast, balance, unity, dilemma, dominance, repetition, rhythm, analogy, metaphor. The course introduces colour theory and its application to design. The course examines Euclidean geometry, composition of shapes, forms and spaces with the emphasis on their visual expression such as light, colour, texture, shade, gestalt principles of perception, figure-ground relations, orientation, formal transformations, interdependence and relationships; studies on ordering systems; introduction of abstract/real concepts in a design process, as well as the principles of two and three-dimensional design, emphasizing function as a determinant. Theories of design will also be introduced.
