typo gra gra phy i typo Ah, Pink Floyd. Will I ever grow tired of this magnificent song? You’ve never let me down yet. This was an assigment designed to have us illustrate song lyrics in a comprehendable and fashionable manner. Using just words, I was able to construct an image that constitutes movement, unity, texture, value, size, balance, contrast, and harmony, all of which are elements and principle of design. I figured I’d go into a little more detail on this page about these characterist, as they are the foundation upon which most typography lies. The elements and principles of design are the building blocks used to create a work of art. The elements of design can be thought of as the things that make up a painting, drawing, design etc. Good or bad - all pieces of art will contain most of if not all, the seven elements of design. The Principles of design can be thought of as what we do to the elements of design. How we apply the Principles of design determines how successful we are in creating a work of art. So if you are not familiar with these elements, get familar with them. They are very important and definently deserve your time and concentration. Oh, and if you’ve never heard the song ‘Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd, go listen to it as soon as you finish this sentence. Now.
