GRA210: 4 Elements of Graphic Design/Bad Yellow Pages Ad

So it's the start of another semester at Seneca College. This semester runs some classes as a "compressed course", meaning that instead of class once a week, we have some classes that run twice a week, but for only 7 of the 14 weeks. So with compressed classes, time management is paramount.

So out first 2 assignments in GRA210 (Graphic Design 1) involved once piece demonstrating the 4 elements of effective design (Contrast, Repetiton, Alignment and  Proximity) or CRAP for short. The second one involved selecting one god awful ad from a list and improving vastly on it.
