    Visual Design Principles

    • Contrast: refers to the degree of light and dark in a design. It is a key element in creating visual interest and hierarchy.
    • Consistency: The goal of consistency in visual design principles is to maintain a cohesive look and feel throughout a project, which helps to create a sense of order and professionalism.
    • Line: A key tool for creating a sense of outline and contour, creating a sense of movement, direction, and emphasis.

    • Balance: creates a sense of stability and equilibrium in a design.

    • Unity: achieved by creating a sense of harmony between the different elements of a design.
    • Contrast: the use of opposing elements to create visual interest and hierarchy within a design.
    • Pattern: a repeating motif that can be used to add visual interest, rhythm, and order.
