What A Load Of Crap..

Tomorrows seminar is about C.R.A.P. I have just looked at the powerpoint for it and it is basically about the layout design - through images or text for screen space.

C: Contrast
R: Repetition
A: Alignment
P: Proximity

Contrast: This is how two different things contrast against each other, it may be large and small text, bright and dull colours, texture is rough and smooth looking, font type face, wide and narrow spacing.

Repetition: Repeat some aspect of the design through the entire piece. Adds visual interest but need to avoid repeating elements so they become annoying.

Alignment: Nothing on page should be placed arbitrarily - meaning "Determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle" Every item should have visual connection with something else on the page.

Proximity: Group related items are together which implies a relationship between them.

For tomorrows lecture I need to bring 3 examples of poor layout design to discuss.
