don't let your design skills limit your designs
MGD1013 & MGD1015 Do-Now
Today's CLO
Today I will either write, speak or demonstrate my knowledge of design,
so that I can apply my layout out skills to create a poster design.
I know I have it when I have used design principles (hierarchy, flow, white space, etc.), InDesign layout skills, typography skills (leading, kerning, tracking, etc.) and applied knowledge of a variety of software to successfully create a poster design in two different size formats.
