The focus on this week lecture and assignment will be on Getalt principle. This principle is based on a few factors to allow designers to come out with a good designed posters or other pictured items. Some of the factors are Figure and Ground, Proximity, Similarity, Continuity and closure.
As for the assigment, it is to be done in a group of two. The objective of this assignment is to pick one good and one bad poster and give reasons why they are good or bad. The use of Gestalt principle is important here as it allows one to tell pretty easily the quality of the poster by simply applying his principle. The above are the 2 posters taken by my partner, David and me.
Personally, I feel that this assignment is very different fromthe assignments I did earlier because for the usual assignments, I am supposed to do use what is being taught during the lecture and make something out of it. Then in the tutorials, my tutorial mates and tutor will then comment on my work. However for this assigment, instead of making something, I and David chose 2 posters and discussed about them. Then in the tutorial, both of us presented the arguments and points for each of the good and bad posters we chose.
After our presentation, our tutorial mates took turn to comment on out points. There were some who agreed with us, but there were also some who think differently from us. They then told us the reasons for their different opinions. For the whole tutorial, students took turn to comment on others' presentation. Miss Swati has also added in quite a few constructive comments in between.
I cannot deny that this tutorial was definitely a fruitful one as I learned and understood more on the designing areas and techniques.
