Design Basics

In designing your wedding stationery you may think learning about design is unnecessary, after all, you want beautiful personalised stationery, not an Art History lecture! However, a little knowledge of design basics and an awareness of some simple creative rules will help you understand why some designs you will come up with work and others just seem wrong. Architects, artists and designers have been using design rules in one form or another for thousands of years to create buildings, furniture, artwork and jewellery that is not only fit for its purpose but is beautiful and harmonious too.

In this three part series on Design, coming shortly, we will look at the Elements of Design, Colour in Design and the Principles of Design.
