What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Proportion, Emphasis, & Harmony |
What is the principle repetition? | Design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect light than rough and rough surfaces absorb more light |
What do curved lines suggest? | Adds a soft graceful effect to designs |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | The balances all are different directions |
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. |
