Principles and Elements of Design Terms
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | Space,Line,Shape,Form,Texture and Color. |
What are the principles of design? | Balance,Rhythm,Proportion/Scale,Emphasis and Unity. |
What is the principle of repetition? | When the design is copied or repeated. |
How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces making them brighter and lighter. Also, rough surfaces adsorb more light making them look darker and less intense. |
What do curved lines suggest? | Adds a soft , graceful effect to the design and too many will make design busy. |
What is the difference between horizontal,vertical, and radial balance? | Vertical is when the top and bottom parts are equal. Horizontal is when the left and right parts are equal. Radial is when the elements radiate out from design. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Action,movement, and excitment. |
What is space? | The area proveded for a particular purpose. |
What are the four types of rhythm? | Gradation,radiation,repetition and continious line. |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical, but are equal in visual weight. Example: one big item on one side of the mantel looks equal when you put a lot of little items on the other side. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Vertical leads your eye up and horizontal leads the eye from left to right. |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio. |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is 2-Demension and Form is 3-Demension. |
What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Vertical, Horizontal and Radial. |
What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles of design work together to create harmony. |
What are two things texture involves? | How surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel. |
What are the four types of line? | Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal, and Curved. |
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. Example: plants, insects,humans. |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One object or item that stands out. Another name is Focal Point. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | Creates line for the eye to follow. |
What is another name for symmetrical balance? | Formal. |
What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | Informal. |
What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | Gradation increases / decreases in size and one element of design changes. Radiation is when lines/designs move out from the center point. |
