Review week 5!

For each of the 5 elements of design (shape, line, texture, space, value), find an example that utilizes each element within the design (Google search for poster design, advertisements, etc). You should have 5 DIFFERENT sample designs. 
For each, evaluate the design in 4 to 5 sentences. Label each with the appropriate element. Then, discuss how that particular element is used and how it enhances the design. 
 
 
 
   SHAPE: The way this design works with shapes, is because the way
the object if being proposed is with color, and the way of its shape. The meaning of shapes, are to let people know to let all the different things of different shapes. Many people find it frustrated when there not working with shapes. shapes makes it a whole lot easier to work with, for example, they can tell you the difference  between what you are trying to look for in an object.
 
 
  LINES: Lines, are very different from shapes, many poeple dont think lines are a shape. Well there wrong. Shapes are everything, but what makes a shape are line, you need lines to make any type of shape. Circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and many other more. Lines can be just one by itself. you also need lines for typing, and also for drawing and or for designing a house, everything need lines. Everthing, just like eveything needs shapes.
