Before you use your energy, time and effort on a design, you need to have a plan in your mind. Four things that will help you to begin a design are: what you want to say; who you want to hear your message; what is size, shape, and function of the page; and basic knowledge of elements and principles of design. This basic course will help you understand the basics of elements and principles of design. The Principles of design can be thought of as what we do to the elements of design.
