What is the principle repetition? | When design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | Making them brighter or lighter |
What do curved lines suggest? | To many will make a design busy |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | They all direct the eye in a different direction |
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,repetition,continuous line |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. Ex. A big light w/ a stack of medium high books and a small lamp. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Vertical: leads the eye up. Horizontal: leads the eye left to right. |
