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.
