| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are the elements of design? | space, line, shape, form, teture & color |
| What are the priciples of design? | formal balance, informal balance, repetition, gradation, continuous line, radiation, focal point, harmony |
| what is the principle repetition? | design is copied or repeated |
| How does texture affect color? | smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces( making brighter and lighter) rough surfaces absorb more light(making look darker and less intense) |
| what do curved lines suggest? | adds a soft, gracful effect to designs |

| what do diagonal lines suggest? | suggest action, movement and excitement |
