How to make an art assignment look unique and exciting

Question

I have been asked to write something on the 'elements and principles of design'. Now i have typed down the stuff required on a paper.. I want to give this paper a bit artistic touch which may give it a unique touch and should look exciting to my teacher when he reads it.. I decided to burn down the corners of page but i guess its been overused quiet alot before as well.

So i want you to help me out with some creative/artistic idea in visual presentation.. Thank you

Answer 1

perhaps you could make it look like a newspaper article. put it on paper similar to newspaper.. name your paper, title your article, make sure to include your byline.. etc etc.  

Answer 2

While the design principles apply to all works of art, an obvious direction would be graphic design. You could design your paper like a poster or advert, taking advantage of simple graphics to illustrate the concepts, as well as paying close attention to how you format the text as typesetting is a huge aspect of graphic design.

Answer 3

You can experiment with a cool cover. Try using butcher paper (or a paper bag) and making it look an old leather bound book. I helped my daughter once with a similar cover and we did a lot of experimenting with crumpling, soaking, and dyeing the butcher paper. It looks really neat when done!
