Understand the importance of book cover design; The basic content and expression of cover design; The basic organization method of cover design layout: symmetry and balance.

Teaching emphases and difficulties:

Focus: Understand the basic contents and forms of book binding design, and learn the symmetrical and balanced layout method.

Difficulties: Understanding and application of symmetrical and balanced layout methods.

Preparation of teaching AIDS and learning tools: preparation of teaching AIDS and learning tools: teaching materials, related pictures and painting tools.

Teaching process:

1. At the beginning of the new semester, we have received many new textbooks with different covers. Please pay attention to what is on the cover of our art textbook. Students will be attracted by colorful covers when visiting bookstores, so they will have the impulse to read and even buy them because they like covers. ...

Two. Teach new courses

1. Basic contents of book binding design: cover, back cover and spine. Cover: It is the main content of design and the visual expression of the style and content of a book. Through the cover, we can directly know the most basic information of the book. Back cover: the last side of a book, which echoes the cover in style and forms a unified style. Spine: It is the smallest part of the design, mainly based on text design, which is convenient for us to collect and organize, and has strong practicability.

2. The basic forms of cover design: painting orientation, photography orientation, text orientation and pattern orientation. Explain the basic characteristics of the four basic forms of expression. Remind students that no matter what form of expression, words are indispensable and important.

3. Basic organization method of cover layout: Symmetry: This is a relatively simple design method, which arranges various design elements in a certain symmetrical way to achieve a stable and balanced picture. For example, the symmetrical balance of axisymmetric points: the purpose of balance and symmetry is the same, both to make the picture balanced and stable. Balance is a visual balance, and the methods are more flexible and diverse. Give examples to illustrate the methods of balance, such as using the depth of color, distance, size of shape and so on. Explain the following two works: symmetry makes the picture get absolute balance and balance makes the picture get flexible visual balance. The cover design of symmetry method is suitable for a more stable and solemn theme, while the cover design of balance method is more suitable for a relaxed and lively theme.

As your homework, please draw a sketch of the cover design in a balanced way. Painting is the main form of expression, and words can be replaced by boxes. Pay attention to the balance required in the diagram.
