Lesson #1: Introduction to 2-D Design
DESIGN : Arrangement of shapes and the other basic building blocks of the visual arts into a visually effective organization to express an idea. A term used mainly in the Applied Arts. In the Applied Arts DESIGN also implies a well thought out and accurate idea or plan, committed to paper, that can be read and produced by a trained technician. (As in a blueprint by an architect for a contractor)
COMPOSITION: Arrangement of shapes and the other basic building blocks of the visual arts into a visually effective organization to express an idea. A term used mainly in the Fine Arts.
The elements of Design and Composition comprise the formal structure of a work of art. As the rules of grammar provide a structure for other languages, Design and Composition provide the basic principles or guidelines for the visual arts.
