"SEC20/WK4: Graphic Design Hands - On practical 1"

A sincere greetings to y'all, i believe you're all doing well in your different homies and wherever you're reading today. I'm excited to welcome y'all to this beautiful week #4 of our lecture room. Right here, you're about to benefit as you're reading the Graphic Design Hands - On practical 1"

Our teacher had taught us several principals of graphic design and this week, it's all about the above topic and I believe you'll all enjoy reading my participation entry. Adhering to lesson hint or going as instructed, i replicate the below design.

I locate the canva application icon in my and launch it, there's a Plus icon located at the down center of the app which i click to select my dimension as menu 17 x 11 landscape to create my work space.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

I'm not comfortable with the white thumbnail display in workspace so i decided to the change the colour hex from it's original state to colour hex #13002B, the result it display is so astonishing and i like it.

My workspace was ready as the colour hex was successfully added. The next in line was uploading a thumbnail on the background so i click on Gallery to select a picture of my choice.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

After selecting the picture, there's a purple button colour that is remark add to homepage i click on it and the picture displayed in my workspace within a second.

The image has displayed in the background, but i have to darken the background a little bit so i make use of the transparent button.

I reduced the background light to make it dim by drawing the slider to 30 percent, the background is now looking cool to used.

Here i create my background successfully, next i click on the text icon to navigate my text in the background and makes it visible.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

After navigating my text, i decide to change the original type face to Impact, changing it to impact add a high visibility to the design. I then work on arranging the words using the principle of hierarchy as seen in picture number 3.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

Now I drag in the square shape to the design my locating the element icon in the background, it has successfully appear in the design as seen in picture-3.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

The element has been resize and placed below my text, i employ the principle of emphasis by changing the EARN original hex code to F2C744. Then i introduced a new words to the design.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

I then resize the text to fit the element under the first text. I introduced a new circle element but this time around i place it at the edge of letter A and add & to make the text a complete sentence. WRITE BLOG & EARN ON STEEMIT.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

Finally i upload my image to the design and crop it to my desire. I then locate the element icon to add another shape, probably the last element of it's kind.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

Here the element page display and i select my element shaped as circle, it appear in the design then i changed it original colour to white and place it in my desire spot, i find the position icon.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

Here the position icon i click finally display and a four options display "forward to front and backward to back." I click on backward to center the circle element at the back of the image, now you can sight the difference between picture-1 and picture-2 because picture-1 the image is invisible meanwhile image-2 is visible. Picture-3 is the final results as I download it to my device.

Picture-1	Picture-2	Picture-3

Taking a careful look at the final results, different types of principles can be visualize, these principles are:

Emphasis, you can clearly notice how I engage emphasis in the design by making use of different colours such as white, yellow and black.

White space, I engage white space as I allow the design to breath instead of stocking them together.

Hierarchy, looking at the text you can notice how I engage hierarchy.

Rhythm, I also engage the rhythm principle as the text are well organize and they all rhythm together.

In conclusion, here i come to the end of my assignment and I believe y'all like the best of me. It's actually my first time of creating this type of design and I'm impress. Thank you @lhorgic for guidelines, this is more than expected.
