Assignment 6A- Poster Design Critique (Gestalt's Principles)
Wednesday, November 28, 2007
This assignment was to test us on Gestalt's Principles that were covered in the lecture. We have to scout for designs that we define as a good or bad design based on Gestalt's Principles.
I worked with Fuzzy to look for and criticize 2 posters. The first poster that we classified as a good poster was The Constant Garderner's poster. The poster conveys a simple message and made use of several Gestalt's Principles such as continuity and flow.
The other poster that we looked at was a poster that supposedly is a valuable one announcing a Beatle's Performance. It as very cluttered and badly designed as information is located everywhere in the poster. The design made the poster very difficult to read and to refer to for information.
I learnt more of analytical skills during this tutorial as I was exposed to not only my group's findings but also the posters that others found. It was very interesting to see that while some people might think that the poster is very cluttered, does not follow principles and classified as a bad design, it might actually be considered good to some who could see its underlying meaning.
