Elements and Principles of Design
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the elements of design? | Line, form/shape, texture, color, space. |
| 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 textures look brighter and more intense because they reflect light; rough textures look darker and duller because they absorb light. |
| What do curved lines suggest? | Coziness, comfort, naturalness, delicateness. |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Left and right parts are equal in horizontal balance. In vertical balance, top and bottom parts are equal. Elements radiate out from design in radial balance. |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | Movement, activity, excitement. |
| What is space? | The actual room or building you are designing- describes ceiling heights, windows, doorways, size, etc. |
| 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 equal in visual weight. Example- 2 small pictures on one side and one medium- sized picture on the other side. |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal lines go left and right. Vertical lines go up and down. |
| What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio. |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | Form is the 3D look of an object when shape is the 2D look. |
| 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 a surface feels to your touch and how it looks like if you can feel it. |
| What are the four types of line? | Vertical, horizontal, 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? | Radial. |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | When both parts of a design are identical on either side. Example- a butterfly. |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | The focal point of a design, where one item or object stands out. |
| What happens when you use a continuous line? | Your eye follows around the room where that line goes. |
| 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 the gradual increase or decrease in size in a design |
