Are you ready to elevate your design skills? This project focuses on understanding how composition principles can guide your design style. Choose a scene from the textbook and analyze it individually. You'll create rough drafts of your floor plan, 3D perspective, and costume renderings in class. Collaborate with peers to evaluate each other’s work before submitting your final drafts. Explore the elements of design, including line, shape, color, and texture, while applying principles of composition like unity, harmony, contrast, and balance throughout your project.

September 25, 2012 Warm Up: Where are you getting your ideas for your design? How is it going? Objective: Students will understand how the principles of composition can guide their design style.
Design Project 02 – Production Design • Choose a scene from the textbook (start on page 162). You may read as a group • Individually, analyze your play (MTGC) • Individually, create rough drafts of your floor plan, 3D perspective, and costume renderings (today) • Peer Evaluate (Tuesday) • Work on Final Drafts to turn in (DUE Thurs!!!)
Elements of Design • Line – a mark that connects 2 points • Dimensions – length and wide of line • Quality – shape, darkness, contrast of line • Character – how it evokes emotions • Shape – Line enclosed • Mass – 3D quality of (a) line(s), space • Measure – judging size • Position – location of objects
Elements of Design • Color – it is what it is • Texture – visual or tactile surface characteristics
Principles of Composition • Unity – when the elements designed work together to create a working design • Harmony – blending of patterns and objects • Contrast – juxtaposition of dissimilar design elements • Variation – breaking harmony without making contrast • Balance – arraigning elements in different areas on stage
Principles of Composition • Proportion – how objects relate to each other in a sense of size, location, or importance. • Emphasis – directing audience attention to specific details or places.
Using Principles of Composition • In trade rough drafts with another person. • While looking over their rough draft and script analysis, examine how they (unwittingly) used the Principles of Composition. • Do you think their work has the desired effect of using the Mood, Theme, and Given Circumstances to create a meaning production design for their particular script.
