Design Literacy for All

Level 2 · BootCampPP Personal and Professional DevelopmentTaught week 4 Monday morning

Start the Lesson

By the end you can squint at any page and say in one sentence why it fails; build a three-colour palette where every colour has a job and a second signal; pair two typefaces and say what each does; rebuild a bad local layout with alignment, proximity, white space and hierarchy, labelling each fix by rule; read a phone screen the way you read a flyer and name the state it is missing; sort found material into usable, usable with credit and never for paid work; and defend your choices in three sentences that cite rules, not preference.

Start the lesson 64 moves in 9 parts. You need: your notebook and a pencil · your own piece from track work: the SCS bio page or the MD brand piece, a post or a flyer · a bad local flyer or menu, a real one from town or a photo of one · the slides tool open, or scissors, glue and a sheet of paper · the AI tool on your learninglions.org account, for one ask only

Submit Your Work

What You Turn In

  1. Your palette, type and grid sheet
    1. Three colours, each with a job; two faces with the why in one line; one grid or alignment rule; made for your own piece; passes the squint test
  2. Your rebuild, before and after fill in on the hub
    1. A bad local layout rebuilt, on screen or with scissors and glue; four fixes labelled by rule with a reason each; the after passes the squint and a stranger names the first read
  3. Your credited asset list
    1. Every font, photo and image on your piece with its source and licence, sorted usable / credit / never; the eight-item sort passed; any AI imagery labelled
  4. Your three-sentence defence
    1. Why these colours, why these faces, what jobs; in your own words, citing the rules
  5. Your Screens page (stays in your notebook)
    1. One phone screen read: its four parts, the first read, a tap target that fails, a state it is missing, and your fix sketched by rule
