Study Notes
Principles of Design
- Design is the foundational building block for visually compelling and impactful experiences.
- Principles of design are the core elements designers use for aesthetically driven, functional work.
- Balance is an essential component of design.
- Symmetrical balance creates order and stability through mirroring elements. Effective for formal, elegant designs.
- Asymmetrical balance uses unequal element placement for visual interest and dynamism, often suitable for modern designs.
- Contrast is achieved through the use of opposing or complementary colors.
- Color contrast generates visual tension to guide the eye to key focal points.
- Scale contrast highlights important info through combining elements of different sizes.
- Texture contrast creates visual interest through juxtaposing smooth and rough, matte and shiny textures.
- Emphasis is a crucial element for directing attention.
- Focal point draws attention to a specific element, creating a clear hierarchy.
- Framing utilizes borders, spacing, and composition to highlight key content.
- Scale highlights elements by enlarging them, emphasizing their importance.
- Movement is created by guiding the viewer's eye.
- Directional cues lead the eye through lines, arrows, and shapes.
- Overlapping objects imply motion.
- Repetitive patterns create a rhythmic flow.
- Pattern is visually appealing
- Structured patterns use geometric shapes, colors and lines for order and familiarity.
- Organic patterns are inspired by nature for fluidity and growth.
- Symbolic patterns utilize icons, logos, or illustrations for conveyance of specific concepts or brand identities.
- Repetition creates rhythmic flow, guiding the viewer's eye.
- Alternating elements creates a dynamic and energetic rhythm.
Elements of Visual Arts: Space and Form
- Space refers to the area within and around a work of art, either 2D or 3D.
- Positive space encompasses the subject matter.
- Negative space is the empty area, crucial for balance and visual interest.
- Illusionistic space creates depth perceptions in 2D spaces (e.g., perspective, foreshortening).
- Form refers to the three-dimensional quality of objects and shapes.
- It is the physical appearance, internal structure, and volume of an object.
- Form is perceived through light, shadow, texture , and viewer's physical relationship with the object.
- Geometric forms have mathematical properties (e.g., cubes, spheres, pyramids).
- Abstract forms simplify, distort or reduce forms while evoking emotions.
- Organic forms resemble natural, asymmetrical shapes.
- Symbolic forms represent meanings through shapes.
Elements of Visual Arts: Perspective
- Perspective creates the illusion of depth, making 2D artwork appear 3D.
- Linear perspective uses converging lines and a vanishing point to create depth.
- Vanishing point guides the eye using imaginary lines to a focal point on the horizon.
- Horizon line represents the viewing eye level.
- Aerial perspective (or atmospheric perspective) suggests depth through changes in color, value, and clarity.
- Objects further away appear less distinct, hazy, and with muted colors.
- Hazy details allow objects in the background to appear further away.
- Color and value shifts result in cooler tones and less contrast.
- Linear perspective uses converging lines and a vanishing point to create depth.
- Perspective enhances realistic representations of buildings and structures.
- Perspective is a key element that brings immersive, captivating, and visually stunning artwork to life.
