Rhythm and Variation
- Rhythm: A regular pattern of elements. This creates a sense of flow and structure.
- Examples include; music: a steady beat in a pop song, where drums and bass hit consistently, visual arts: repeating arches in Romanesque building's facade.
- Variation: A change or difference in elements within a rhythmic pattern. This adds interest, contrast, and complexity.
- Examples include; music: a song's bridge section, visual art: painting with repeating geometric patterns but with variations in color intensity or size.
Balance and Proportion
- Balance: The visual or physical distribution of weight or forces within a composition. It creates stability and harmony. It is not necessarily symmetry.
- Examples: A painting with a large dark shape on one side balanced by smaller, lighter shapes on the other.
- Proportion: The relative size and scale of elements in a composition. This influences the visual impact and harmony in a piece of art. It is about the relationship between parts and the whole.
- Example sculptures of human statues, where the head is smaller than the body, reflecting human anatomy.
- A poster where text size is proportionally smaller than the image, guiding the viewer's eye to the focal point.
Unity and Harmony
- Unity/Harmony: Unity and harmony both create a cohesive and visually appealing artwork. This includes the combination of unity and variety. All parts work together to create a pleasing and cohesive whole.
- Achieving unity and harmony creates an unified effect. Related elements such as colors, shapes, or textures, work together in a harmonious way. Avoid contrasts or clashing components, focus on a visually pleasing and unified effect.
Depth and Perspective
- Depth and Perspective: Shows the three-dimensionality of a space through the use of perspective lines and vanishing points.
- Contrast: A design principle which uses the elements of value to add depth and dimension. Light also plays a crucial role in creating good contrast within a piece
General Design Principles
- Principles of design are guidelines to help artists and designers arrange elements in a visually appealing and effective composition.
- Key principles include balance, harmony, emphasis, movement, and unity to ensure clear communication and avoiding clutter.
