HOW TO CREATE IDEAS FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNS
SIGNS
DICTATE - DESIGN EDUCATES

This
design lesson teaches you
how to compose images to create graphic designs with layers
of meaning. A graphic design is much more than a sign. A sign will only tell
you one thing such as 'stop' or 'go'. However, a good graphic design
can have several layers of visual and verbal meaning that tell you many
things.
HOW TO DEVELOP IDEAS

This
design lesson teaches you
composition techniques that
you can adapt to develop ideas for any graphic design. Some
students have skills in drawing but struggle when it comes to generating
ideas. However, this is a skill that we can teach you through our composition techniques.
HOW TO CREATE ORIGINAL DESIGNS

This
design lesson teaches you techniques you can use to create more original
designs. The
first ideas that you think of are not usually the most original.
The reason they are already in your head is because you have seen
them before in one form or another. The best ideas are those that
you discover by trial and error through composing and adapting the elements of
your design.
