Homework #6 "20 Rules"

Many of these rules I have seen or used in some way but never really thought about it until now. Such as medium. I recently had to make a billboard for my principles of graphic design class. I had to work around the size because I only had so much space. My first design got cut in half when I used photofunia. (https://photofunia.com/categories/billboards) One thing I struggle with was using the right amount of effects. Sometimes I put too many or far too few. Some of these rules come very natural and I can find it in mine and many others work. Such as using the same font. I consistently use the same font during a project. It looks awkward if you don't. I feel as some of these rules are common sense while others you have to explore and find for yourself. I would recommend anyone picking up graphic design to give this a look.
