Training Room 1 Project
Introduction
For Training Room 1 Project, you will be tasked with creating a visual display that illustrates each of the design elements that you have studied - a form of a quick reference guide. Your project may take the form of a printed poster or an electronic slideshow. Discuss with your teacher any other options that may be available to you. This project can be done either individually or with a partner. For each element, illustrate the element in a visual communication and explain the impact of that element on the visual message.
Materials
A wide variety of materials can be used for this project. Your choice may depend on what materials and equipment are available for you to use. If you are using equipment that you are unfamiliar with, you should seek out instruction from your teacher or other qualified person.
Project Assessment
This is a formative assessment and is intended for you to practice your skills until you are proficient in the identification and description of the various elements of design. Your evaluation will be based on the Design Elements Rubric found in the Toolkit. Before you begin work on your project, you are advised to preview the rubric and the expectations for this project. You will be able to resubmit your project after receiving critical feedback from your teacher or classmates.
Directions
Throughout Training Room 1, you have been learning about the many different elements of design. To complete the requirements for the Training Room 1 Project, begin by brainstorming a possible theme that you can use that will allow you to incorporate as many design elements as you can. Develop a strategy to creatively display samples of each design element along with a very brief description that indicates how the element is being represented in your example. Remember that you are trying to inform an audience what elements of design are – in essence, you are creating a “cheat sheet” for studying elements of design. If you encounter any difficulties with a particular design element, you should refer back to the page(?) on that topic.
Project Summary
You have now completed the Training Room 1 Project on elements of design. From the learning that you engaged in throughout the training room, you have successfully distilled the main concepts involved in design elements and have created a visual display that clearly illustrates each design element and their possible impact in a visual message.
If you do not receive an evaluation that is satisfactory, you should examine the Design Elements Rubric and consider what you can do to improve your project. After making any changes, resubmit your project to your teacher.
