Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide students with information about line, shape, area, size, texture and color subjects from visual design elements of students. It is also aimed at ensuring that visual design principles have an idea in terms of integrity, balance, emphasis, alignment and closeness.

Course Content

In material design studies, visual design has a very important place. The ability of the material to convey the message in the desired direction for the specified purposes depends on the correct use of the design elements and adherence to the design principles. Visual design elements consist of line, shape, area, size, texture and color. In this context, the transfer of the theoretical knowledge which develops the material design in line, shape, area, color, texture and dimension subjects and application of teaching technique by doing.
