what are the elements of design? | texture, color, shape and lines, space |
what are the principles of design? | Balance, rythum, proprtion/scale, emphasis, unity |
what is principle repitition? | an element that occurs over and over again |
how does texture affect color? | smooth surfaces are lighter, jagged/bumpy textures absorb light- appears darker |
what do curved lines suggest? | cozy, delicate, feminine style |
whats the difference between horizontal, vertical and radial balance? | horizontal-top and bottom parts equal vertical-left and right parts are equal radial-elements radiate outward from center |
what do diagonal lines suggest? | always have movement |
what is space? | area you are working in |
what are the four types of rythum? | gradation, radiation, reptition, continuous line |
what is assymetrical balance? example- | parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight |
what is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal-relaxing/restful smaller vertical-gives hright/strength7formality |
what is the golden mean? | proportion- 3:5 ratio is known as golden |
what is the difference between shape and form | form- when you take a 2d object and make it 3d shape- 2d shapes |

what happenes when you use a continuous line? | creates a design for line to follow |
what is another name for symmetircal balance? | formal |
what is another name for assymetrical balance? | unformal |
what is the difference between gradation and radiation? | gradation-increase or decrease in size radiation- lines or designs move out from center point |
