What are the elements of design | line, color, texture, space, shape, form |
What are the principles of design | rhythm, balance, proportion,/scale, emphasis, unity |
What is the principle repetition | Design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color | Smooth surfaces reflect more light & rough surfaces absorb more light |
What do curved lines suggest | Adds a soft, graceful effect to designs |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance | horizontal balance- symmetrical from left to right vertical balance- symmetrical from above and below radial balance- 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, repeating, continuos line |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. A bureau with a flower vase in the middle and a candle on the left siade and a picture frame on the right |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines | horizontal lines go left and right and vertical lines go up and down |
What is the golden mean | 3-5 ratio for proportion/scale |
What is the difference between shape and form | shape is a 2 diminutional image and form is a 3 dimentional image |
What are the five types of balance | symmetrical, asymmetrical, radial, horizontal, vertical |
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 something feels or how it looks like it feels |
What are the four types of line | horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved |
What is proportion | each of the parts are the right size to belong to the whole |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest | diagonal |
What is symmetrical balance? Example | when both parts are identical and example would be butterflies |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it | focus point |
What happens when you use a continuous line | continuous line for 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 is designs increase or decrease in size radiation is lines or designs move out from center point |
