Design is a principle based discipline, so the first step in becoming a designer is to learn the core principles that guide great design. In this class we will cover all of the 4 core principles to give you the basic understanding you need before you start designing. We will also engage in a fun class project to help you start to see the principles in the world around you.

The project for this class is to engage with the four core principles of design. You do this by:

1. Finding design pieces around you (at least 3)

2. Taking pictures or screenshots of those designs

3. Uploading those images to your project

4. Sharing your analysis of how the principles are used in each piece in your project

I have attached handout that you might find useful to print out and use when you are analyzing and designing.
