Elements of Design & Principles of Design
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | Space, Line, Vertical Lines, Horizontal Lines, Diagonal Lines, Curved Lines, Shape, Form, Texture, Color. |
What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Proportion, Emphasis, Unity. |
What is the principle repetition? | When a design is copied or repeated. |
How does texture affect color? | *Smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces. (light reflection) |
What do curved lines suggest? | Gracefulness. |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | In horizontal...left & right parts are equal. In vertical...top & bottom parts are equal. In radial...the elements radiate from the outside. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Movement & excitement. |
What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose. |
What are the four types of rhythm? | 1) Gradation 2) Radiation 3) Repetition 4) Continuous Line |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual. EX- There may be 2 picture frames on each side of design/picture but they do not have to be exactly the same as each other (in size or shape) |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Vertical Lines lead the eye up, and Horizontal Lines lead the eye from left to right. |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio. |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is a flat image. Form is the outlines of a three dimensional object. |
What are the five types of balance? | 1) Asymmetrical 2) Symmetrical 3) Horizontal 4) Vertical 5) Radial |
What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements |
What are the two things texture involves? | How a surface feels & how it appears to the touch |
What are the four types of line? | 1) Vertical 2) Horizontal 3) Diagonal 4) Curved |
What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Radial |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are exactly alike. (EX- Each side is the same) |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One object or item stands out. Focal Point. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | It creates a line for the eyes to follow. |
What is another name for symmetrical balance? | Formal Balance |
What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | Informal Balance |
What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | Gradation decrease of increase in size or one element changes. Radiation is when lines move out from center point. |
