Summary
This document explores the relationship between color and form. It details how color and form are mutually dependent, influencing visual perception through several stages. It also outlines fundamental aspects of visual design including line, shape, form, value, color, texture and space, while focusing on the concepts of pattern, whitespace, repetition and rhythm.

Elements of design. The elements of design are the fundamental aspects of visual design that are used to create images that convey a mood, draw the eye, or evoke feelings. These elements include Line. Shape. Form. Value. Colour. Texture. Space. Line: Line refers to the can use other elements occupies space.

Principles of design. There are twelve basic principles of design: contrast, balance, emphasis, proportion, hierarchy, repetition, rhythm, pattern, white space, movement, variety, and unity. These visual and graphic design principles work together to create appealing and functional designs that make sense to users. What is the design prin- sition.
