In the past couple of years, we’ve designed & released two free, popular design education resources: the Color Theory Quick Reference Poster, and the Elements of Design Quick Reference Poster. These items are now being used in classrooms all over the world, but we kept getting one specific question: when will you make a Principles of Design poster?
The answer is… today!
We’re happy to announce the new, free Principles of Design Quick Reference Poster (in two colors).
Hit the jump for free downloadable wallpapers, print-ready PDFs, source files etc!
We took what we learned from the creation of the Color Theory poster and Elements of Design poster and applied it to the Principles of Design poster. This poster won’t teach you everything you need to know – that will never happen. What it’s meant to do is provide a quick overview of the C.R.A.P. principles of design; a refresher for those in the know, and a starting point for design newbies.
