Study Notes
Design Elements
- Balance is achieved by arranging elements within a design to create a sense of equilibrium.
- Rhythm is a visual pattern of repeating elements that creates a sense of movement.
- Rhythm is achieved through variations in shape, size, color, spacing, and position of elements.
- Emphasis is highlighting a focal point in a design to draw attention.
- Emphasis is achieved through contrast of elements, such as color, shape, and size.
- Emphasis can be achieved by isolating the subject to focus attention on it.
- Unity is the sense of cohesiveness and harmony in a design.
- Repetition: Creates unity by repeating color, size, orientation, texture, font, and shape.
- Proximity: Elements close to each other are perceived as more related than elements that are spaced farther apart.
- Alignment: Aligning elements in a design creates unity.
