| 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. One pineapple vs. 3 oranges. |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal lines lead the eye from left to right. Vertical lines lead the eye from top to bottom. |
