Project 1 Balance

This project shows the beauty of design. Using the same three basic shapes (each of them has three different sizes) that I came up with, I composed a symmetrical design and an asymmetrical design which differs a lot from each other. I applied design principles, such as figure-ground perception and balance, to add interest to my designs. While doing the project, I realized that creating beautiful things with the same element is also the beauty of the world and design. We have all kinds of different creatures in the world but they can all be broken down into same elements. I am proud to be a designer who creates value by designing something new from something we already have.
