| What do diagonal lines suggest? | Action, movement and excitement |
| 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: A couch with end tables on both sides, but different decorations on them. |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal leads your eye left to right. Vertical leads your eye up and down. |
