Elements/Principles of Design
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are the elements of design | space, line, shape, form, texture, and color |
| what are the principles of design | balance, rhythm, proportion/scale, emphasis and unity |
| what is the principle repetition | example of rhythm: 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 - too many will make a design busy |
| what is the difference between horizontal, vertical and radial balance | horizontal - left and right parts are equal vertical - top and bottom parts are equal radial - elements radiate out from design |
| what do diagonal lines suggest | informality and restfulness |
| what is space | the area provided for a particular purpose |
| what are the 4 types of rhythm | gradation, radiation, repetition and continuous line |
| what is asymmetrical balance? example? | parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight example: when the room has things in the room that are similar but are not exactly the same |
| what is the difference between shape and form | shape has 2 dimensions and form has 3 dimensions |
| 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 two things texture involves? | how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
| what are the 4 types of lines? | vertical, horizontal, diagonal and curved |
| what is proportion? | each of the parts are the right size to belong to the whole |
| which of the 5 types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | symmetrical |
| that is symmetrical balance? example? | when both parts are identical example: plants |
| what is emphasis? what is another name for it? | emphasis is one object or item that stands out AKA focal point |
| what happens when you use a continuous line? | it creates a continuous line for the eye to fallow |
| 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 is is when designs increase or decrease in size. radiation is when lines or designs move out from the center point |
