Study Notes
Principles of Composition
- Comprises key elements: Harmony, Unity, Balance, Contrast, Proportions/Size, Emphasis/Focus.
Harmony
- Achieved by grouping elements based on repetition, creating order within visual chaos.
Unity
- Results from a complex interplay of all composition principles, ensuring visual forms are cohesively arranged.
Rhythm
- Introduced through visual movement that repeats at intervals, establishing a cyclical flow within the composition.
Balance
- Pertains to the arrangement of design elements, fostering a sense of equilibrium and stability.
Symmetrical Balance
- If the design is bisected, both halves would mirror each other, maintaining equal visual weight.
Asymmetrical Balance
- Each side varies in design elements but achieves overall balance through contrasting elements’ interaction.
Contrast
- Involves placing dissimilar design elements together to highlight differences while maintaining harmony with predominant themes.
Proportion
- Refers to relative sizes and scales of objects in relation to one another or a reference point.
Emphasis/Focus
- Directs audience attention to specific areas within the composition, highlighting key elements.
Scale
- Investigates the proportional relationship of objects, influencing their perceived size and importance within the composition.
