I learned how these elements work together to create focus and emotion in a design. What surprised me was how challenging it can be to use color effectively. Picking the right combinations and understanding how colors interact was harder than I expected. On the other hand, using line and shape came more naturally and I found it easier to play around with structure and layout. What drove me a little crazy was trying to make everything feel cohesive without it looking too busy or too plain. But I really enjoyed experimenting with layering because it added a whole new level of depth to the piece. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week focused on learning elements of design and I gained a deeper understanding of how each component contributes to visual communication.
