Making Designs


I expect you have heard that words like “good” and “bad” are usually value judgments. A more functional approach to describe personal value is appealing or unappealing. We often recognize appealing design even though we might lack the vocabulary to articulate why it is so. Once you have created a design element that appeals to you , there are a number of pattern strategies that can help your design to grow organically.

These particular examples are founded on simplified line drawings of yoga poses.

Start by making a design:

Design strategies to Think about :

1. Scale :

Magnify Shrink

What does your design look like if you play with the dimensions?

2. Visual Balance

Simplify Crop

Is there a specific portion of the design that is particularly appealing?

Try focusing on that.


3. Mirror


4. Repetition


5. Rotation around an axis


6. Combination of strategies

Using these strategies you can ensure that your design efforts are outstanding.
