What are the principles of design? | Balance, Emphasis, Rhythm, Unity, Proportion/Scale |
What is the principle repetition? | Design is copied or repeated. |
How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light and rough absorb light making it look light or dark. |
What do curved lines suggest? | adds a soft, graceful effect to design |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical and radial balance? | Horizontal is when side to side is equal, Vertical is when the top and bottom are equal and radial is when the elements radiate from the center |
What do diagnol lines suggest? | Adds action, movement and excitement |
What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal lines run left to right and vertical lines run up and down |
What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is a flat image and form is a 3d outline |
What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, Assymmetrical, Horizontal, Vertical and Radial |
What does unity or harmony mean? | when all elements and principles of design work together to create harmony |
What are the two things texture involves? | how it appears to feel and how it actually feels |
What are the four types of line? | vertical, diagnol, horizontal and curved |
What is proportion? | how the design is divided |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Asymmetrical |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | When both sides are exactly the same such as butterflies |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | It is something that stands out also called the focal point |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | The eye follows it |
What is another name for symmetrical balance? | Formal balance |
