In the abstract set I learned how to group similar shapes in each dartboard into one cohesive storyline. I chose the rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and tried to incorporate diamonds, squares, and triangles in my first set of artboards. While doing this set, the easiet thing was choosing what shapes I wanted to use in each set. The difficult parts were when I had to place them in order to tell the best story while also following the Gestalt Principle I had to use in that artboard. If I were to improve this project I would definitely do more preliminary sketches to have a better plan. Personally, I thought the assignment was well explained and wouldn’t have any changes to suggest. I will take what I learned with this assignment and use these simple Gestalt design principles for the rest of the semester when I’m designing simple projects. When doing this project, I went back into the PowerPoints and looked at some of the designers and what they would do in order to catch the eyes of my viewers in my designs.

During this set of designs I was able to learn how to take standard figures and make them into a story. Unlike the abstract set, this set was much easier to do because I had so many options to choose from. The challenging part was that I had so many figures to choose from that I had to make sure I didn’t overdue each artboard. This set could have been better if I evaluated first all of the figures, and just like the abstract set, do more preliminary sketches. This assignment was well put together and easily explained therefore I would not make any changes. The representative set taught me to have a larger eye for what figures and shapes are important which I will take with me for future assignments. Using the PowerPoints allowed me to better understand each principle and what they called for.
