| 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? | smooth surfaces reflect more light, rough surfaces absorb more light |
| What do curved lines suggest? | soft, graceful affect. |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | vertical is top and bottom parts are equal, horizontal is left and right parts are equal, radial is elements radiate out from design |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | action, movement, excitement |
| What is space? | area provided for a particular purpose. |
| What are the four types of rhythm? | gradation, radiation, repetition, and continuous line. |
| What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | parts of design aren't identical but are equal in visual weight. |
| What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | shape is flat surfaces, form is 3d. |
| What are the 5 types of balance? | symmetrical, asymmetrical,vertical, horizontal, and radial |
| What does unity or harmony mean? | all elements and principles of design work together to create harmony |
| What are the 2 things texture involves? | how the surface feels and how it appears to feel |
| What are the 4 types of lines? | horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved |
| What is proportion? | how the design is visually divided. |
| Which of the 5 types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | radial |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | when both parts are identical |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object or item stands out, focal point |
| What happens when you use a continuous line? | the eye follows the line |
| What is another name for symmetrical balance? | identical |
| What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | not identical |
| What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | gradation is getting smaller or bigger, radiation is lines move out from a center point |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal lines go from left to right, vertical lines go up and down. |
