Elements&Principles
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the principles of deign? | Balance, rhythm, proportion/scale, emphasis, and unity |
What are the elements of design? | Space, Line, Shape, Form, Texture, & Color |
What is the principle repetition? | It is when the design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | It affects color by smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces Making them brighter and lighter, rough surfaces absorb more light making them look darker and less intense |
What do curved lines suggest? | It suggests a soft, graceful effect to designs |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Vertical balance is when top and bottom parts are equal. Horizontal balance is when left and right parts are equal . Radical balance is when elements radiate out from design. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | It suggests action, movement, and excitement. |
What is space? | Space is the area provided for a particular purpose. |
What are the four types of rhythm? | The four types are gradation, radiation, repetition, and continuous line. |
What is asymmetrical balance? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | A horizontal line leads the eye from left to right while a vertical line leads the eye up. |
What is the golden mean? | The golden mean is a 3 to 5 ratio. |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is a flat or silhouette image and it has two dimensions. Form is the outlines edges of a three dimensional object. |
What are the five types of balance? | Formal balance, informal balance, vertical balance, radial balance, horizontal balance |
What does unity or harmony mean? | Unity/harmony means all elements and principles of design work together to create harmony. |
What are the two things texture involves? | It involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel. |
What is proportion? | Proportion means that 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 Balance |
What is symmetrical balance? | Symmetrical balance is when both parts are identical |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | Emphasis is one object/ item that stands out. Another name for it is a focal point. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | The design creates a continuous line for eye to follow. |
What is another name for symmetrical balance? | Another name for symmetrical balance is formal balance. |
What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | Another name for asymmetrical balance is informal balance. |
What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | Gradation is when the designs increases or decreases in size and one element of design changes. Radiation is when the lines or designs move out from center point |
