• consistency• repetition• alignment• proximity• ratio of text to

white space• image file size• color use• font type, size,

and style

Design Principles

1. Balance

2. Proximity

3. Alignment

4. Repetition

5. Contrast

6. White Space

Six Principles of Design

Elements must be are arranged evenly.

Elements that are placed out of balance create a certain tension/mood.

How do we create balance?

Balance

Text Block, Graphic, Vertical Text

Too much white space

Proximity and Unity

Border with heading

Space reduced

Alignment

Text left-aligned and graphic added to balance overall design.

Repetition/Consistency

Text matches graphics and adds repetition. Blue borders and typeface are consistent with other examples.

Contrast

Oversized graphic and blue boder provide contrast and reinforces the copy.

White SpaceWhite space gives your design breathing room!

Larger indention

sand

margins.

Color• used to attract attention• can be subtle or bold

Value

• relative lightness or darkness of an area compared to the surrounding area

• creates contrast, movement, and emphasis

Other Principles of Design

(005 E)

Knows how to accomplish tasks through technological collaboration to include participation with electronic communities as student, initiator, contributor, and teacher/mentor.

The Master Technology Teacher…

• Web 2.0 tools (e.g., wikis, blogs)

• E-mail (e.g., gmail, hotmail)

• Cloud computing (e.g., google drive, drop box)

• Media (e.g., Youtube, Flickr, Picassa)

• Social Applications (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn)

Collaboration Tools

• Knows how to use different file formats• 2 kinds of computer graphics

The Master Technology Teacher…

Raster (RIFs) Vector• Composed of pixels• Called bitmap images• Grid of individual pixels• Bitmaps composed of

pixels.

• Composed of paths• Mathematical

relationships between points and paths to connect to images

• Graphics composed of paths.

Raster vs. Vector

Raster Vector

• Best for photographs• For complex, non-

uniform shaded images

• Main Internet Raster formats:

• GIF• JPEG• Bitmap• Others (e.g., JIF,

CLP, DCX)

• Best for graphics• More detailed images• proprietary formats,

formats made for specific programs.

• CorelDraw (CDR)• Hewlett-Packard

Graphics Language (HGL)

• Windows Metafiles (EMF)

Develop and use rubrics to evaluate technology-based processes and products

○ Have an established criteria○ Objective○ Time efficient○ Unbiased
