Module Information (MI) Module Assessment Tasks Document I.  RECAP Assessment Task 1 focuses on exploring the fundamental principles of design and understanding how they function in real design works. The purpose of this task is not only to define each principle theoretically, but also to observe and analyse how these principles are applied in actual visual communication. Through exploration and documentation in this blog, students are expected to develop the ability to connect design theory with practical examples. In this task, I will describe each design principle from the given list and support my explanations with suitable visual examples from external sources. I will then select a design work that interests me, justify my selection, and identify the design principles found in that work. Through this process, I aim to strengthen my analytical skills, improve my visual awareness, and better understand how effective design communicates meaning through structured principles. II. ...

These principles are all very important for how things look. I realised that design is about more than just making something look nice. It is also about clearly showing information and guiding the viewer's visual attention. The best part was turning my first ideas into the finished piece. I was esp...

  Module Information (MI) Module Assessment Tasks Document I.  Recap In Task 3, I am required to further develop one of my selected ideas from Task 2 and transform it into a final design outcome. This process involves refining the concept through the application of design principles such as colour, composition, typography, and visual hierarchy. I need to explore and improve my idea step by step, ensuring that the design communicates a clear message and demonstrates a strong understanding of design principles. After finalising the design, I am also required to present it in A4 size with proper resolution, include a caption, and write a rationale explaining my design decisions, the meaning behind the work, and the principles applied. Additionally, I need to include feedback from my lecturer and reflect on how it has influenced my final outcome.
