How does a dot turn into a line to create a shape that makes up a composition? What?! Missed your design fundamentals class again? Looks like you'll need to borrow our notes. This book looks and functions like a student's sketchbook with handwritten notes and illustrations that capture the key concepts and assignments taught in a foundation course on the elements and principles of design. More than just a collection of illustrated notes, this 'notebook' is an essential guide to the basic elements of composition - dot, line, shape, form, colour, texture, and pattern - as well as the principles for composing the elements on flat surfaces (paper, canvas, screens) and in three dimensions.
