Elements and Principles of Design
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the elements of design? | Space, Line, Shape, Form, Texture, and Color |
| What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Proportion/Scale, Emphasis, and Unity/harmony |
| What is the principle repetition? | when a design is copied or repeated |
| How does texture affect color? | Makes smooth surfaces reflect more light making them brighter and lighter and makes rough surfaces absorb more light making them look darker and less intense |
| What do curved lines suggest? | adds soft graceful effect to designs |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Vertical balance have the top and bottom parts equal but the horizontal balance has the left and right parts equal. The radial balance is different from both because it has elements radiating out from the design. |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | action, movement, and excitement |
| What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose ( ex - bedroom) |
| What are the four types of rhythm? | Gradation, Radiation , Repetition , and Continuous Line |
| What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. Example: a paper with small images on one side and on the other side a large image |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal lines move the eye from left to right but vertical lines move 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 silhouette image (2d) but a form is the outlines edges of a three dimensional object (3d) |
| What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical Balance, Asymmetrical Balance, Vertical Balance , Horizontal 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 texture involves? | Involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel. |
| What are the four types of line? | Vertical, Horizontal ,Diagonal , and Curved |
| What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided. |
| Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Asymmetrical Balance |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | Balance-when both parts are identical. Example: insects |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | When one object or item stands out. Another name for it is Focal Point. |
| What happens when you use a continuous line? | your eye follows that continuous line. |
| 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 Designs increase or decrease in size or one element of design changes but radiation is lines or designs that move out from the center. |
| Balance | parts of a design are equally distributed in physical weight or visual weight |
| symmetrical balance ( formal) | when both parts are identical |
| asymmetrical balance ( informal) | parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight |
| vertical balance | top and bottom parts are equal |
| horizontal balance | left and right parts are equal |
| radial balance | elements radiate out from design |
| rhythm | gives design direction or movement |
| gradation | designs increase or decrease in size or one element of design changes |
| radiation | lines or designs move out from center point |
| repetition | design is copied or repeated |
| continuous line | design creates a continuous line for eye to follow |
| proportion/ scale | how the design is visually divided |
| emphasis (focal point) | one object or item stands out |
| unity/harmony | all elements and principles of design work together |
| space | the area provided for a particular purpose ( can have 2 dimensions or 3 dimensions) |
| line | the visual direction of a design ( vertical , horizontal, diagonal, curved ) |
| vertical lines | lead the eye up. Add more height , formality and strength |
| horizontal lines | leads the eye from left to right. Suggests informality and restfulness |
| Diagonal lines | suggest action , movement and excitement |
| curved lines | adds a soft , graceful effect to designs |
| shape | a flat or silhouette image ( 2d) |
| form | the outlines edges of a three dimensional object (3d) |
| texture | a surfaces tactile quality |
| tactile | the perception of touch |
