Good Visual Design • Presents your instructional material in a clear and appealing manner. • Makes your material easily understood. UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 13

How can I make good design? • Use the visual design principles to improve your design. • Critically examine your work to see if the message design can be improved. • Keep things simple. UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 14

Visual Design Principles • Harmony • Balance and Symmetry • Emphasis • Alignment • Closure UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 15

Harmony • Harmony refers to the way that the elements of a display interact together in a pleasing manner. Lack of harmony UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 16

Balance and Symmetry • Elements of differing sizes can be brought into balance, by moving them closer to or farther from the center of the page (Like a seesaw). • Balance in visual design is preferable to imbalance. • Symmetry is achieved when one half of a visual display is a mirror image of the other half.

Balance and Symmetry Balanced Imbalanced UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 24

Balance and Symmetry UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 25

Emphasis • Emphasis is used by designers to create dominance and focus in their work. • Designers can emphasize color, value, shapes, or other design elements to achieve dominance. UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 26

Alignment • Alignment of elements within a screen is an important part of organizing and grouping. • If at all possible, you should align elements in such a way as to visually maximize differences between different kinds of text, labels and pictures UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 29

Alignment UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 30

Alignment UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 32

Closure • People tend to fill in missing bits, and perceive visuals as complete, or closed, entities. UNESCO Training the Trainers in Information Literacy Workshop September 3 -5 Ankara Turkey 33

Closure People also tend to group closer objects.
