Study Notes

Elements of Design

  • A line is a one-dimensional path made by a moving point in space, varying in width, direction, and length.
  • Shapes are two-dimensional, enclosed areas that can be geometric or organic in character.
  • Form refers to three-dimensional shapes with volume, occupied space, and planes or surfaces, edges, and vertices (points in space).
  • Texture refers to the surface quality of an object, which can be actual (tactile feel) or simulated (visual representation).
  • Space refers to the measurable distance between points or forms in reality or the illusion of depth established on a two-dimensional plane.

Principles of Design

  • Pattern is created through the repetition of motifs or elements, often used decoratively.
  • Contrast involves juxtaposing elements to enhance each other, often creating a visual emphasis.
  • Emphasis is the creation of a focal point in a composition through deliberate design decisions.
  • Balance is the distribution of visual weight in a design, achieved through symmetry, asymmetry, or radial balance.
  • Proportion and scale refer to the relative quantity distributions or size relationships of elements and forms within a composition.
