E's & P's 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 Harmony. |
| What is the principle repetition? | A type of rhythm when a design is copied or repeated. |
| How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces, and rough surfaces absorb more light than smooth surfaces. |
| What do curved lines suggest? | Softness and gracefulness. |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Horizontal is when the left and right parts are equal, vertical is when the top and bottom parts are equal, and radial is when elements radiate out from the design. |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | Action, movement, and excitement. |
| What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose; can have two or three dimensions. |
| 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: one side of a dresser has a big clock, and the other has a lamp. |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal lines lead the eye from left to right, while vertical lines lead the eye up. |
| What is the golden mean? | The proportion a human's top should be with its bottom; 3 heads:5 heads ratio. |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is a flat, 2 dimensional image with length and width, while form is the outlines or edges of a 3 dimensional object with length, width, depth, volume, and mass. |
| What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, asymmetrical, horizontal, vertical, and radial. |
| What does unity or harmony mean? | All the elements and principles of design working together create harmony. |
| What are the two things texture involves? | How the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel. |
| What are the four types of line? | Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and curved. |
| What is proportion? | How a design is visually divided. |
| Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Asymmetrical balance. |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | Both parts of a design are identical. Example: plants, insects, or humans. |
| 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? | The eye follows the whole 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 is when a design increases or decreases in size; only one element of design changes. Radiation is when elements radiate out from a design. |
