Elements/Principles of Design
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, unity |
What is the principle repetition? | The design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | The appearance of texture on a color |
What do curved lines suggest? | Curved lines add a soft, graceful effect to designs |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Horizontal balance means the left and right parts are equal when vertical lines the top and the bottom are equal. Radial balance means that designs radiate out from design. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Diagonal lines suggest action, movement, and excitement |
What is space? | Space is the area provided for a particular purpose |
What are the four types of rhythm? | Gradation, radiation, repetition, continuous lines |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of a design that are not identical but equal in visual weight |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal lines go left to right which creates wideness in a room, while vertical lines go up and down and create height in a room |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is a flat silhouette image, while form is a three-dimensional object |
What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, asymmetrical, vertical, horizontal, and radial |
What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles of design work together to create harmony |
What are the two things texture involves? | Texture involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
What are the four types of line? | Vertical, horizontal, curved, and diagonal |
What is proportion? | Proportion means that each of the parts are the right size to belong to the whole |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Asymmetrical balance |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | Symmetrical balance is when both parts are identical like plants, insects, or humans |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One object or item stands out. Another name for it would be focal point. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | Design creates a continuous line for eye 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? | In gradation designs increase or decrease in size where as radiation are lines or designs that move out from the center point |
