In this lecture we learned about design principles.  We looked at 4 elements of design this week.  These elements were balance, contrast, movement and emphasis.

There are two ways of showing balance.  these are symmetrically and asymmetrically.

Contrast simply means difference.  contrast can be portrayed in shape size colour and composition.

Movement is the path followed by the eye in an image.  There are three types of movement for an image, these are rhythm, line and repetition.

Emphasis is the stressing of a particular area of focus.  There are four types of emphasis, these are simplicity, placement and scale, colour and isolation.

In the lab session this week we used photoshop to edit an image of louis walsh.
