 * I was first introduced to the illuminated manuscripts as an art student at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Tx. I was amazed then by their beauty and intricacy and remain so now. The artists of that time used all of the design principles we’ve learned about to make their work interesting and therefore, highlight their importance to those who would read them. Contrast is created by use of different colored lettering in parts of the manuscript as well as the pictures and design drawn around the lettering. Repetition is created in the design around the lettering as well as the use of the same lettering throughout. Alignment is used to keep all the lettering together on the page. The design surrounding the lettering helps keep the alignment together and works as proximity as well. ||
