# Attractive Visual Media is No Accident
As a visual media designer through website design you must pay attention to what is making up your visual media. Anything you see in the viewport is made up of a series of elements – the “things” that make up how your site looks or any other visual media.
This is not the same as your subject material (in a website, an image is a subject). Elements are the unique visual components that bring attention to your subject in a specific way. You will explore these elements in this assignment.
# Your Task
You will use the resources below to research each of these terms;
- “The Elements of Design” at [https://vanseodesign.com/web-design/design-elements/](https://vanseodesign.com/web-design/design-elements/). Please note the links to each chapter of the series is at the bottom of the site linked here.

For each of the terms below, create a new slide. Each slide must include a definition, 2 contrasting exemplar photographs, and rationale as to why each image is an example of that element of design. You will be creating this in Google Slides, and your text may appear in “Notes” section of each slide as opposed to directly on each slide.
- Line (different weighted lines, different line directions)
- Shape (2D) or Form (3D)
- Colour (2 examples of same image with different colours)

- Tone (Black and White) or Value (Colour)
