Elements and Principals 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? | Involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
What do curved lines suggest? | It Adds a soft, graceful effect to designs but too many will make a design busy |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Vertical Balance- is top and bottom parts are equal. Horizontal Balance- is left and right parts are equal .Radial Balance – elements radiate out from design |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Suggest action, movement, and excitement |
What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose Can have 2 dimensions or 3 dimensions |
What are the four types of rhythm? | gradation,radiation,repetition and continuous line. |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Asymmetrical Balance- Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. ex. a table with simloiar items the same lamps or vases but different picture frames and books but the same size. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal lines lead the eye from left to right and Suggests informality and restfulness vertical lines lead the eye up adding more height, formality, and strength |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 Ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | shape is A flat or silhoutte image with 2 dimensions and has length and width in form the outlines edges of a three dimensional object are Length, Width, and Depth (Height)As well as Volume and Mass |
What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical Balance,Asymmetrical Balance,Vertical, horizontal and radial |
What does unity or harmony mean? | that 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,curved |
What is proportion? | each of the parts are the right size to belong to the whole. how the design is visually divided. |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Radial |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | Balance-when both parts are identical a butterfly. |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object or item stands out also known as a focal point. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | the eyes follows it. |
What is another name for symmetrical balance? | symetry or identical |
What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | informal balance |
What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | gradiation One element of design changes radiation Lines or designs move out from center point |
