Principals of Design
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | Space, Line, Shape, Form, Texture, & Color |
What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Proportion/Scale, Emphasis, Unity |
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 absorb more light -Making them look darker and less intense Example: Red carpet looks darker and duller than red ceramic tile |
What do curved lines suggest? | Adds a soft, graceful effect to designs |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | -Horizontal Balance: Left and Right parts are equal. -Vertical Balance: Top and Bottom parts are equal. -Radial Balance: Elements radiate out from design. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Action, movement, and excitement. |
What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose. -Can have 2 dimensions: Floor -Can have 3 dimensions: Room or Dwelling |
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. Example: Two chairs on the sides of a sofa. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal: Leads the eye from left to right. Vertical: Lead the eye up. |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 Ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape: 2 dimensions Form: 3 demensions |

What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles of design work together to create harmony. |
What are the two things texture involves? | Involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel. |
What are the four types of line? | 1)Vertical Lines 2)Horizontal Lines 3)Diagonal Lines 4)Curved Lines |
