| 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 than rough surfaces Making them brighter and lighter - Rough surfaces absorb more light Making them look darker and less intense |
| What do curved lines suggest? | Adds a soft, graceful effect to designs |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Vertical Balance- Top and Bottom parts are equal. Horizontal Balance- Left and Right parts are equal. Radial Balance – Elements radiate out from design |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | action, movement, and excitement |
| What is space? | - A flat or silhouette image - 2 dimensions: length and width |
| What are the four 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 Horizontal Lines - Leads the eye from left to right |
| What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 Ratio |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape - A flat or silhouette image Form - The outlines edges of a three dimensional object |
| What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical balance, Asymmetrical Balance, Vertical Balance, Horizontal Balance, Radial Balance |
| 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 the surface feels to the touch - how it appears to feel |
| What are the four types of line? | Curved Lines, Diagonal Lines, Horizontal Lines, Vertical Lines |
| What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided |
| Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Asymmetrical Balance |

| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One object or item stands out - also is called focus point |

| 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 |
