Elements&Principles
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | |
What are the principles of design? | space, line, shape/form, texture, and color |
What is the principle repetition? | A design is copied or repeated. |
How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light making them appear brighter and lighter. Rough surfaces absorb more light making them appear darker and less intense. |
What do curved lines suggest? | They add a soft, graceful affect to design. |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | In horizontal left and right parts are equal. In vertical top and bottom parts are equal. In radial balance elements radiate out from design. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | They suggest action, movement, and excitement. |
What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose. |
What are the four types of rhythm? | Graduation, radiation, repitition, and continuous line. |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of a design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. Example-placing a bunch of pillows on one side of the couch and a table on the other side to balance it out. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal leads the eye from left to right. Vertical leads the eye up. |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio. |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is a flat or silhoutte image. Form is outlines edges of a 3d object. |
What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, asymmetrical, horizontal, vertical, 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? | Involves how the surface feels or how it appears to feel. |
What are the four types of line? | Horizontal, vertical, curved, and diagonol. |
What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided. |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Radial balance |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | When both parts are identical. Example- plants, insects, humans |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One abject or item that stands out. Another name would be vocal piont. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | It creates a line for the 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 graduation designs increase or decrease in size. In radiation line or designs move out from center piont. |
