elements and principles of design
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | line, shape/form, 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 surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces making them brighter rough surfaces absorb more light making them look darker |
What do curved lines suggest? | add soft, graceful effect to design |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | vertical-top and bottom parts are equal horizontal-left and right parts are equal radial-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 line |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight ex. 1 big pillow vs 2 small pillows |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | vertical-lead the eye up horizontal- lead the eye left to right |
What is the golden mean? | 3-5 |
What is the difference between shape and form? | shape-2D form-3D |
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? | involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
What are the four types of line? | horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curveed |
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. 2 identical lamps |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object or item stands out (focal point) |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | design creates a continuous line for 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-designs increase or decrease in size one element of design changes radiation- lines or designs move out from center point |
