Study Notes
Principles of Design
Balance
- Refers to the distribution of visual elements to create a sense of stability and harmony
- Can be achieved through:
- Symmetry: identical elements on either side of a central axis
- Asymmetry: balanced elements without perfect symmetry
- Visual weight: using size, color, and texture to create balance
Proportion
- Refers to the relationship between the size of different elements
- Can be achieved through:
- Scale: using size to create a sense of hierarchy
- Emphasis: using size and placement to draw attention to important elements
Emphasis
- Refers to the creation of a focal point in a design
- Can be achieved through:
- Size: making an element larger than others
- Color: using contrasting colors to draw attention
- Placement: placing an element in a prominent location
Movement
- Refers to the creation of a sense of motion or direction in a design
- Can be achieved through:
- Lines: using diagonal or curved lines to create movement
- Shapes: using dynamic shapes to create movement
- Color: using warm colors to create a sense of energy
Pattern
- Refers to the repetition of similar elements to create a visual rhythm
- Can be achieved through:
- Repeating shapes or colors
- Using grids or textures to create a sense of pattern
Unity
- Refers to the creation of a sense of oneness or cohesion in a design
- Can be achieved through:
- Repetition: repeating elements to create a sense of unity
- Proximity: grouping elements together to create a sense of unity
- Continuity: using continuous lines or shapes to create a sense of unity
Contrast
- Refers to the use of different elements to create visual interest
- Can be achieved through:
- Color: using contrasting colors to create visual interest
- Size: using different sizes to create visual interest
- Texture: using different textures to create visual interest
Harmony
- Refers to the creation of a sense of visual appeal and cohesion
- Can be achieved through:
- Similarity: using similar elements to create harmony
- Repetition: repeating elements to create harmony
- Gradation: using gradual changes to create harmony
