Design Elements and Principles My group was assigned half of the Quad as our grid space and were made to photograph different areas that could be used as examples of the different elements and principles in design.  colour lines Pathway / pattern Wayfinding Water Container rhythm safety element

Photoshop This was my first ever attempt at using photoshop. While the outcome is definitely unsatisfactory, I had spent many hours and lots of effort into this image. Considering that it is my first try, I am very proud of myself and what I have created.  However, I agree that many improvements could have been made to make this photoshopped image much more realistic. I could and should have used a different background image, one that is brighter and of better quality. Originally, I believed that the contrast between the area in the sun and the other half in the shade would make for a great background and an interesting photoshop outcome. but now that I know better, I would definitely have used a photo with a lot more natural light. Infographics this took me a few days of consistent work to complete as it took me hours to individually create the little icons that represent each faculty. Many changes were made to this infographic (i saved this final version over my ...

Here are the compiled images of our hard work! Photoshop Despite the difference in our chosen backgrounds, we made attempts to connect each photoshopped image together and bring across a sense of fluidity between our photos. However, we decided to separate our images to make the whole combined image look less messy. In hindsight, this may have affected our main goal of creating a flow between our respective works. Infographics My personal favourite as it looks the most cohesive amongst all our combined images. I love the pastel colour scheme as it gives off a very soft and demure feeling. Pedestrian Movement We tried to show that our image could look smooth and combined despite the differences and irregularities in our mapping. Composite images This was edited to include drawings and photos that were taken by our group members.

Infographics For the infographics assignment, I chose the dataset "faculty". The following three images were taken from google as a visual representation of the three keywords that relate to the student body in UNSW. Focus Diversity Knowledge Colour Swatches   These swatches were made with Adobe Capture.

Shading and sketches Shading with different types of pencils and charcoal to achieve different gradients by shading. Other methods to form gradients include cross-hatching and stippling.  Chair challenge Drawing a chair without looking at my paper. I chose this picture as it's the only one that I did that vaguely resembles a chair... I think this challenge helped me to realise that it's okay to do quick sketches and that not every drawing has to look perfectly pristine.  Drawing the same chair with a charcoal pencil, this time while looking at my paper, with the intent of focusing on shading, shadows and light. The difference between this drawing and the one above helps to highlight how some simple shading can really make a drawing look far more realistic and complete. Here's another example of shading that helps to make a 2D drawing look slightly more 3D by helping to contrast highlights and the shadows of the sphere.
