Applying Visual Design Principles

Applying Visual Design Principles to Slide Layouts

I created this visual design project to demonstrate 6 graphic design principles: Color, Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Balance, and Style (C-CRABS) that can be applied to improve the look and feel of several PowerPoint slide designs. In each of the four sample slides, below, a before and after image is provided with a description of how I applied each principle to revise the slide design.
