Question | Answer |

What are the elements of design? | Space, line, shape, form, texture, and color |
What are the principles of design? | Balance, rhythm, proportion/scale, emphasis, and unity/harmony |
What is the principle repetition? | Design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | *Smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces *making them brighter and lighter *Rough surfaces absurd more light *making them look darker and less intense |
What do curved lines suggest? | Adds a soft, graceful effect to designs |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radical balance? | Horizontal balance: left and right parts are equal Vertical balance: top and bottom parts are equal Radical balance: elements radiate out from design |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Action, movement, and excitment |
What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose |
What are the four types of rhythm? | *Gradation *Radiation *Repetition *Continuous Line |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight Ex: informal balance |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal Lines: leads the eye from left to right Vertical Lines: leads the eye up |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape: a flat or silhouette image Form: the outlines edges of a three dimensional object |
What are the five types of balance? | *Symmetrical Balance=formal balance *Asymmetrical Balance=informal balance *Horizontal Balance *Vertical Balance *Radical Balance |
What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles of design work together to create harmony |
What are the two things texture involves? | *How the surface feels to the touch *How it appears to feel |
What are the four types of line? | * Vertical Lines *Horizontal Lines *Diagonal Lines *Curved Lines |
What is proportion? | Each of the parts are the right size to belong to the whole |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | *Vertical *Horizontal *Radical |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | When both parts are identical Ex: plants, insects, or humans |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One object or item stands out. Also called Focal point |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | Your eye follows the line |
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: designs increase or decrease in size. One element of design changes Radiation: lines or designs move out from center point |
