What are the elements of design? | space, line, shape, form, texture & color |
What are the principals of design? | balance, rhythm, proportion/scale, emphasis & unity |
What is the principal repetition? | when a design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces & rough surfaces absorb more light |
What do curved lines suggest? | they add a soft, graceful effect to deigns |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | vertical: top & bottom parts are equal Horizontal: left & right parts are equal Radial: elements radiate out from design |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | action, movement and excitement |
What is space? | the area provided for a particular purpose |
What are the 4 types of rhythm? | gradation, radiation, repetition & continuous line |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | vertical lines lead the eye up and down and vertical lead the eye side to side |

What are the four types of line? | vertical, horizontal, diagonal & curved |
What is proportion? | how the design is visually divided |

What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object or item that stands out, focal point |

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: designs increase or decrease in size radiation: lines or designs move out from center point |
