Welcome to this foundation course in basic design, Visual Order. This course aims to strengthen your visual design skills towards controlling the viewer’s attention by understanding the rules of arranging visual elements in a two-dimensional space. We will discuss limitations of visual hierarchy and how Order as a concept can broaden your know-how of visual design from mere organisation of information to the act of making meanings.

Importance of the assignment criteria:
Tasks in this assignment are evaluated objectively and are solely based on assignment criteria. They are not governed by the personal likes or dislikes of the instructor. Therefore read the tasks and instructions carefully. If the assignment criteria are perceived differently by the students and the instructor, then we lose time. However, constructive arguments in alignment with the tasks can be defended objectively, this approach matches my teaching philosophy.
