Study Notes
Main 7 Elements of Design
- Design elements are the components of art, like ingredients in a recipe.
- Seven key elements are: Line, Colour, Texture, Size, Shape, Space, and Value of light & shade.
Line
- Used to define shapes, and forms in design.
- Used to connect or stress words/phrases.
- Used to create patterns.
Colour
- Used to generate emotions, show importance, and create visual interest
- Subtractive (CMYK = cyan/magenta/yellow/black) and additive (RGB = red/green/blue)
- Colours have different emotional responses (warm/active vs cool/passive)
Texture
- Refers to the surface of an object (e.g., rough, smooth).
- Adds depth and visual interest.
- Can be printed or implied.
Size
- Refers to how small or large something is.
- Helps define importance, create visual interest, and attract attention.
- Important for real measuring for depth of geometric perspective.
Shape
- Shapes are created by height and width.
- Basic shapes include geometric (circles, squares, triangles), natural (leaves, people), and abstracted (icons, stylizations).
Space
- The area around or between design elements.
- Separates or groups information.
- Used to give the eye a rest, define importance or lead the eye through design.
Value of light & shade
- How light or dark an area appears in a design.
- Creates depth, contrast, emphasis, and helps form elements in the design.
- Ranges from darkest black to brightest white.
