Elements and principles 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? | smooth surfaces reflect more light-lighter and brighter. Rough surfaces absorb more light- look darker and less intense |
What do curved lines suggest? | Adds a soft, graceful affect to designs; a more girly look |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | vertical- top and bottom parts are equal, horizontal- left and right are balanced, 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 four types of rhythm? | gradation, radiation, repitition,continuous line |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | parts of design are not equal but are identical in visual weight ex: books on a table might balance out a lamp on the other side |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal-leads eye from left to right vertical- leads eye up |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | shape- flat or silhoutte image form- outlines edges of a three dimensional object |
What are the five types of balance? | symmetrical,asymmetrical, vertical, horizontal, radial |
What does unity or harmony mean? | all elements and principles of design work together to create harmony |
What are the two things texture involves? | how surface feels and how it appears toi feel |
What are the four types of line? | diagonal, curved, vertical, horizontal |
What is proportion? | how design is visually divided |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | asymmetrical balance |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | both parts are identical ex: a butterfly |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object stands out, focal points |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | there is a continuous line for the eye to follow |
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- designs increase or decrease in size, one element of design changes radiation- lines or designs move out from center point |
