Elements and Principles 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 |
What do curved lines suggest? | add a soft, graceful effect |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | vertical-top and bottom are equal horizontal-left and right side are equal radial- elements radiate out from design |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | action, movement, excitement |
What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose |
What are the four types of rhythm? | Gradation, radiation, repetition, continuous |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | vertical makes a tall appearance, up and down horizontal makes wide appearance, left to right |
What is the golden mean? | 3-5 ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | shape is flat, two dimension form is 3-D |
What are the five types of balance? | Achieved when parts of a design are equally distributed Can be physical weight or visual weight Symmetrical Balance-when both parts are identical Asymmetrical Balance- Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight |
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 and how it appears to feel |
What are the four types of line? | horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved |
What is proportion? | 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? | diagonal lines |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | when both parts are identical |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object or item stands out, 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? | visual |
What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | in-visual |
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 |
