| What do diagonal lines suggest? | 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, and Continuous line |
| What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. ex. table with different things on each side |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Vertical Lines- lead the eye up, horizontal- lead the eye from side to side |
