In this lesson we reviewed and emphasised again the fundamentals of principles of design.
The fundamentals of principlesof design are first emphasis and the second balance and alignment , contrast, repetition this proportion , movement and then we have white space before.
Poster Design
Introduction to Design Principles
The principles of design are essential rules that a designer must follow to create an effective and attractive composition.
Fundamental principles include: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement, and White Space.
A design does not have to strictly follow these rules to be considered “good.” Some exceptional designs may ignore one or more principles to create a unique and effective work.
The 7 Principles of Poster Design
Emphasis
Fig.1.0 Emphasis
Emphasis involves making a particular element stand out to capture the viewer's attention.
Balance and Alignment
Fig.1.1 Balance and Alignment
Balance ensures a design is evenly distributed, while alignment arranges elements in a visually appealing manner.
Contrast
Fig.1.2 Contrast
Contrast makes a design "pop" by creating space and differences between elements. It ensures readability and visual interest by making the background significantly different from the elements.
Repetition
Fig.1.3 Repetition
Repetition unifies and strengthens a design. Using repeated elements like typefaces or colors can create a motif, adding consistency and cohesiveness.
Proportion
Fig.1.4 Proportion
Proportion relates to the visual size and weight of elements in a composition and their relationship to each other. It often helps to approach the design in sections.
Movement
Fig.1.5 Movement
Movement controls the flow of elements in a composition, guiding the viewer's eye from one element to the next and effectively communicating the intended information. It creates the narrative of the work.
White Space
Fig.1.6 White Space
White space, or negative space, is the empty area around the elements in a composition. It allows the design to breathe, often enhancing the overall quality of the composition.Tutorial :
Mister gave us three extra learning videos to get us to know some of the basics of photography.
1. PROJECT 1B - PART 2: Recoloring Black and White

Practical
Exercise2（Week6: Recoloring Black & White)
Part1
In week 6, we are to recolour a black and white image following this YouTube tutorial by Mr. Martin.
Fig.2.4 & 2.5 Recolouring progress and final recoloured photo
I used the “Overlay” blend mode because the “soft light” made the color of the photo a bit strange. I used an Adjustment Layer to adjust the saturation because the skin color selection looked a little pale. I also added shadows to the face to make it look less flat.
Part2
For part 2 of Exercise 2, we are to follow along with this demo of advanced recolouring.
Here are some of the layers I used.
Fig.2.6 Layers I used
Finally, to make the woman's face look better in the photo, I also tried painting blush with the brush tool and put a little highlight on the mouth.

Fig. 2.8 Masking progress
As with the last one, I wanted the photo to look more realistic and I still used the brush tool to give her blush and highlights.

Feedback
Week6
The task of re-coloring was very interesting, and I learned a lot about Photoshop knowledge and application skills, and I had a lot of fun.
