The Principles of Design
1. What are the elements of design? | Color harmony, lines(vertical,horizontal, diagnol,Curved), shape/form, space,texture,color |
2. What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm,Proportion/Scale, Emphasis,Unity |
3. What is the principle repetition? | A design that is copied or repeated |
4. How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces Rough surfaces absorb more light |
5. What do curved lines suggest? | Suggests a soft, graceful effect to desins (too many will make a design busy) |
6. What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | A horizontal balance are equal parts that go up and down, Horizontal balance are eqaul parts but go left to righ and Radial balnces are elements that radiate out from design |
7. What do diagonal lines suggest? | Suggests action, movment and excitment |
8. What is space? | The area provided for a paticular purpose (on floor is 2 demensional, A room or dwelling is 3 demensional) |
9. What are the four types of rhythm? | Gradation, Radiation, Repetition, Continuous |
10. What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of a design that are not identical but are equal in visual wieght |
11. What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal lines draw your attention side to side, and vertical lines draw your attention upward |
12. What is the golden mean? | a ratio |
13. What is the difference between shape and form? | a shape is a flat or silhoutte image as to where form is the outlines edged of a 3D object |
14. What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Vertical, Horizontal, Radial |
15. What does unity or harmony mean? | It's all the elementant and principles of design that work together to creat harmony |
16. What are the two things texture involves? | Involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
17. What are the four types of line? | Horizontal, vertical, diagnal, curved |
18. What is proportion? | Means each of the parts are right sizeto belong to the whole |
19. Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Diagnoal |
20. What is symmetrical balance? Example? | It's when parts of a design are equal distributed. This can be physically or visually wieghed, and both parts are equal |
21. What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | It's one object or item that stands out, also called a focal point |
22. What happens when you use a continuous line? | It creates a continuous line for eyes to follow |
23. What is another name for symmetrical balance? | Formal Balance |
24. What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | Informal Balance |
25. What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | Gradation increases or decreases in size, and has one element of design that changes and radiation are just lines or designs that move out from a center point |
