FAS Assignment 3

Section 3 of the FAS course was Basic Design - an introduction. This section was definitely design 101, mainly about visual communication - the use of shapes and symbols and how they can be arranged for different meanings. The assignment was to complete seven different areas related to what was discussed in the text. Unlike the first two assignments, this assignment was varied, containing a few areas that required fill-in-the-blank answers and a few that required me to do some simple drawing. The last page was the arrangement of colored paper cutouts of different shapes of a single object. I choose a seashell (the shapes are views of the shell from different angles) and tried to arrange them to indicate the shape of an ocean wave.
