CLASS NOTES:
CG130 Drawing & Design Fundamentals |
|
OVERVIEW:
|
|
The human eye is phototropic and only takes in seven
pieces of visual data. Human impulse triggers recognize
shape first, then color, and lastly evaluate any dangers present. Details beyond the seventh (out of context items) are for all practical purposes invisible and extraneous to the intent of the visual message. This class endeavors to help you recognize the involuntary reactions inherent in visual media and how to create clear messages within your own work. |
