Elements and Principles
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | Color, line, shape, form, texture, space |
What are the principles of design? | Balance, rhythm, proportion/scale, emphasis, unity |
What is the principle repetition? | When a design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light, making them look brighter and lighter and rough surfaces absorb more light, making them look darker and less intense |
What do curved lines suggest? | A soft and graceful design |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Vertical balance is when the top and bottom are equal, horizontal balance is when the left and right parts are equal,and radial balance is when 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, repetition, continuous |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | When parts of the design are not identical, but are equal in visual weight(ex.- A big lamp on one end table and a little lamp with two small picture frames) |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal lines suggest informality and restfulness and lead the eye from left to right while vertical lines add more height, formality, and strength and lead the eye up |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is a flat 2 dimensional image and form is the outlines edges of a 3 dimensional image |
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 the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
What are the four types of line? | Vertical, horizontal, curved, diagonal |
What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Asymmetrical |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | When both parts are identical(ex.-plants) |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | Is one object or item that stands out and another name for emphasis is the focal point |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | The design creates a line for the 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 when one element of the design changes and radiation is when lines or designs move out from a center point |
