Elements of Design
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | Shape, Line, Shape, Form, Texture, and Color |
What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Proportion/Scale, Emphasis, Unity/Harmony |
What is the principle repetition? | Repetition-When a design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | Texture affect the brightness or light a surface reflects (Smooth Surfaces), or how dark or less intense a surface by absorbing light (Rough Surfaces) |
What do curved lines suggest? | That a room is soft or graceful because of its design |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Horizontal has to do with the left and right parts or a design being equal, vertical has to do with the top and bottom parts of a design being equal, and radial is the lines of a design moving out from a design. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Diagonal lines suggest action, movement, and excitement. |
What is space? | A flat or silhouette image, 2 dimensions, and have a length and width |
What are the four types of rhythm? | Gradation, Radiation, Repetition, and continuous line |
What is an asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. Example: One big picture in the middle of two small pictures. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Vertical lines lead your eyes up, and add more height, formality, and strength, while horizontal lines lead your eyes from left to right, and are more informal, and restful. |
What is the golden mean? | The golden mean is a 3 to 5 ratio. |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is a 2 dimensional figure with a length and a width, while a form is a 3 dimensional figure, with a length, width, and depth (Height)-as well as volume and mass. |
What are the five types of balance? | Asymmetrical balance, symmetrical balance, horizontal balance, vertical balance, and radial balance. |
What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles of design work together to create harmony. |
What are the two things that textures involves? | *A sufaces tactile quality * How a surface feels and how it appears to feel. |
What are the four types of line? | -Vertical -Horizontal -Diagonal -Curved |
What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided. |
Which of the five steps of balance suggest excitement or interest? | Vertical, Horizontal, Radial, Asymmetrical, and Symmetrical. |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | Symmetrical balance is formal. Example: A design that is identical. |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One object or item stands out, and another name for it is focal point. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | It creates a continuous 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? | Gradation is the increase or decrease in size, when one element of design changes, whereas radiation are lines or designs move out from a center point. |
