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.
