Study Notes

Main 7 Elements of Design

  • Design elements are the components of any artwork or design
  • They are the ingredients of art
  • Combining these elements creates well-designed graphic design
  • The 7 elements are: Line, Colour, Texture, Size, Shape, Space, Value of light & shade

Line

  • Lines are marks drawn between two points.
  • Lines come in various forms (straight, squiggly, curved)
  • Lines can be used for a variety of purposes:
    • Emphasizing words or phrases
    • Connecting content
    • Creating patterns

Colour

  • Colour is used to evoke emotions and highlight important elements.
  • It creates visual appeal and unified branding (or warnings).
  • Using colour makes designs richer, clearer, and more attractive.
  • Colour uses subtractive methods (CMYK) and additive methods (RGB).

Texture

  • Texture refers to the surface of an object (look or feel)
  • Texture can add depth and visual interest to designs.
  • Texture can be actual (textile) or implied (screen).

Size

  • Size refers to how large or small an element is.
  • Size can define importance, create visual appeal by contrasting sizes, and capture attention.
  • Maintaining real measurement for various depths of geometric forms in design ensures a good vision of design elements and forms

Shape

  • Shapes are formed when height and width combine.
  • Basic shapes include triangles, squares, circles, and rectangles.
  • Other shapes can attract attention.
  • Shapes are classified as:
    • Geometric (triangles, squares, circles, etc.)
    • Natural (leaves, animals, trees, people)
    • Abstracted (icons, stylizations, graphic representations)

Space

  • Space is the area around and between elements in a design.
  • Space can be used to separate or group information.
  • Use space effectively:
    • To give the eye a rest
    • To highlight or define importance
    • To guide the eye through a design

Value of light & shade

  • Value relates to how light or dark an area in a design appears.
  • Values range from black to white.
  • Correct use of value can create depth, contrasts, and emphasis in designs
  • Value builds the forming of elements in a design, creating a stereophonic effect.
