Elements and principles of design
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | Texture, shape, form, line, space, and color |
What are the principles of design? | Balance, rhythm, proportion/scale, emphasis, and unity. |
What is the principle repetition? | Design is copied or repeated. |
How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces and rough surfaces absorb more light. |
What do curved lines suggest? | A soft, graceful effect to designs. |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance. | Vertical balance is when the top and bottom parts are equal. Horizontal is when the left and right parts are equal. Radial is when 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? | Lines, patterns, shapes, and colors. |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example. | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. For example, 1 big picture equals 2 medium pictures. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal lines go from left to right and vertical lines go up and down. |
What is the golden mean? | A way to calculate proportion. |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is 2D and form is 3D. |
What are the 5 types of balance? | Symmetrical, asymmetrical, horizontal, vertical, and radial. |
What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles work together to create harmony. |
What are the 2 things that texture involves? | How to surface feels and how it appears to feel. |
What are the 4 types of lines? | Horizontal, vertical, curved, and diagonal. |
What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided. |
Which of the 5 elements suggests excitement or interest? | Diagonal lines. |
What is symmetrical balance? Example. | When both parts are identical. Plants |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One object or item that stands out. Another name is the focal point. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | Design creates a line for the eye to follow. |
What is another name for symmetric balance? | Formal balance. |
What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | Informal balance. |
What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | Gradation is when the designs increase or decrease in size and one element of design changes. Radiation is when lines or designs move out from center point. |
