Flashcards

Line

A line is a connection between two points, extending in one dimension, such as a straight line, a dotted line, or a curved line.

Color

Color is a visual element that adds vibrancy and meaning to a design. It can be used for mood, contrast, and to attract attention.

Shape

Shapes are two-dimensional areas defined by lines or colors. Geometric shapes, like circles and squares, follow rules, while organic shapes, like leaves and flowers, are more free-flowing.

Form

Forms are three-dimensional objects, often depicted using shading and shadows to create a sense of depth.

Texture

Texture refers to the surface quality of a material, like roughness, smoothness, or patterns. It adds visual and tactile interest.

Space

Space refers to the empty areas within a design, both the positive area (object) and the negative area (background).

Balance in Design

Balance ensures an even distribution of visual weight in a design, creating harmony and stability. This weight can be influenced by factors like color, size, and contrast.

Rhythm in Design

Rhythm is the repetition of elements in a design, creating visual flow and movement. It can be regular, random, alternating, or progressive.

Study Notes

Elements of Design

  • There are six elements of design
  • Line: A connection between two dots. Has one dimension (straight, curved, dotted)
  • Color: A fundamental design element
  • Shape: A two-dimensional area defined by a line or color. Two types - geometric (circle, etc.) and organic (leaves, flowers, etc.).
  • Form (Solids): Three-dimensional objects, usually represented using shading and shadows.
  • Texture: Roughness or smoothness, created using grain patterns
  • Space: Positive and negative areas (objects and backgrounds)

Principles of Design

  • Balance: Even distribution of visual weight in a design.
    • Symmetrical: Two equal halves (left = right, top = bottom)
    • Asymmetrical: Uneven visual weight, no two equal halves
    • Radial: Elements radiate outward from a central point.
  • Rhythm: Repetition creating patterns in design.
    • Regular: Repeating the same element
    • Random: Randomly repeating elements
    • Alternating: Alternating elements in a pattern
    • Progressive: A growth or progression in size, perhaps increasing or decreasing order
  • Unity and Variety: Combining elements for harmony while maintaining differences.
  • Contrast: Differences (shape, color, scale) in layout
  • Emphasis/Focus: Highlighting an element
  • Proportion: Relative size and dimensions of elements
  • Movement: Visual paths (vertical, horizontal, diagonal) create a sense of movement (static = no movement, dynamic = movement)
