EDLD 5366 Digital Graphic and Web Design


                 LEWIS CARROLL'S ALICE'S ADVENTURES UNDER GROUND

        
       Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures under Ground was my manuscript of choice.  As I looked through it, I was able to identify the four principles of design: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity.
       First of all, passages were indented and in quotations set part from the regular page text.  In some of the pages, the contrasts appeared dark and were in all capital letters. The color, font and graphics at the beginning of the chapters were written in red, black, and blue enabling further contrast with the text.  Secondly, repetition utilized the same font as well as the same format throughout all of the pages of the document.  Next, alignment was seen in the graphics that were drawn sideways taking up the entire page and aligned with the text. Finally, the proximity of the drawings helped give the readers a visual image of what the author was displaying in the story.
       Generations has loved and embraced this tale of the little girl name Alice who fell down a rabbit hole into an exciting fantasy world.  This 90 page book, filled with 37 illustration and attractive fonts and colors became one of the greatest stories ever written.
