Elements/Principles of Design
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the elements of design? | line, form/shape, texture, color, and 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 reflect light and look brighter, shinier, and more intense. rough textures absorb more light and look darker and duller. |
| What do curved lines suggest? | coziness, comfort, naturalness, delicateness |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | how the parts are distributed- horizontally, vertically, or radiated |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | movement, activity, excitement |
| What is space? | the area around, above, and within an object. |
| 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 book shelf |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal lines suggest different characteristics from vertical lines. horizontal: relaxed + peaceful while vertical: strength + stability |
| What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | shape is 2D while form is 3D |
| What are the five types of balance? | symmetrical, asymmetrical, horizontal, vertical, radial balance |
| 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 or how it looks like it would feel if you were to touch it |
| What are the four types of line? | vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved |
| What is proportion? | how the design is visually divided |
| Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | radial |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | when both parts are identical (ex) humans |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object or item stands out. aka focal point |
| What happens when you use a continuous line? | design creates a line 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? | radiation: lines or designs move out from focal point while gradation: designs increase/decrease in size- one element of design changes |
