This being the first project for my introduction to graphic design class, the teacher wanted to start us off with something basic. We were to create a design using a 10 square by 1o square grid; each square could be either black or white. For starters, we created a preliminary design using just one 10×10 grid. After that, we were supposed to create three related designs on three separate 10×10 grids. For each step (the single grid and the three grids), I created simple digital tools to help me make my designs. This way, instead of using tons and tons of paper to create designs on, I could quickly and easily experiment with different designs. I cannot stress how much easier these simple applications made this project!
