#5 Design Principles: Do they help us design better flyers? Do they help us as educators?

My Response: As an administrator who is responsible for programs and the publicity of programs, I am quite conscious of how to design posters and flyers. I worked at an institution for learning disabilities which caused me to be quite creative, not only for the program content itself andhow I presentited it, but also for the publicity of the program. Ihave also created newsletters for my office, my daughter's girl scout's group, and I have dabbled a bit with designing business cards, greeting cards, etc. because of my intrests in design work.

Therefore, I feel strongly that design principles help us to be more effective at designing flyers. The principles we learned about: Proximity, Alignment, Repetition, and Contrast were techniques I was familiar with but did not describe them explicitly. The author identifies them in such a clear and concise manner with excellent examples.
