Design Elements Point Exercise


I depicted my five points as everyday objects (a chair, a desk lamp, a light switch, a glass of water, and an apple), and identified them by appealing to the senses. For this particular one, I focused on sight and used a visual medium to to emphasize the point. For example: an arrow can draw the eye toward the chair; a finger pointing to the chair could serve the same function, the point may be highlighted by a spotlight or by shining a flashlight at it; a One Way sign may direct one to the chair; lines underlining the chair may call attention to it; a simple sign could represent the point; a Google map visual with a pinpoint on the chair could identify it; a bull’s-eye target could direct one to the chair; one could isolate the point by making the area surrounding it dark; or one could accentuate the point by making it the only entity in a blank space. As for the other points, I described them in a list of ways ranging from verbal cues to colors, from images to textures.
