straight down the line

My dogs peed on all the things

This week we had to Complete a “DesignBlitz.” Our instructions were to, “carry your camera with you this week and take photos of objects, ads, signs, etc. that illustrate at least four of the ten concepts listed below (one photo per concept). Refer to the DesignBlitz resources on the Design Resource page for more information about each of the concepts.”

The concepts included:

  • color
  • typography
  • metaphors/symbols
  • minimalism & use of space
  • form/function/message
  • balance
  • rhythm
  • proportion
  • dominance
  • unity

For this project I decided to explore downtown Fredericksburg and look at the design elements of how it was set up and constructed. Here are the elements I took notice of:

Rhythm/Balance/Unity:

This isn’t an element of design, but it totally should be!
