Elements And Principles Of Design Flashcards
Hierarchy
Refers be to the arrangements of elements within a design..the most important elements should appear to be important and video versa.
Proportion
Size of elements in relation to one another.
Larger elements are seen to be more important than the other
Proportion
Size of elements in relation to one another.
Larger elements are seen to be more important than the other
Repetition
Refers to the repeated use of elements. reusing the same colour, patterns, images or similar choices.
Rhythm
Creating a sense of movement and flow through repetition and variations
Unity
Refers to the creation of cohesion in a design,
This is when everything looks good together.
What is balance?
The distribution of visual weight in a composition to create stability. Balance can be symmetrical (equal weight on both sides), asymmetrical (unequal weight but still balanced), or radial (balanced around a central point).
What is contrast?
The difference between various elements in a design, that makes them stand out from one another.
What is emphasis?
The focal point or area of interest in a design that draws the viewer’s attention.
It causes certain aspects of a design stand out compared to the other elements, conversely it may be used to minimise how much an element stands out..
What is form?
Refers to three dimensional objects that have length, width and depth, often giving a sense of volume.
What is color?
A visual perception resulting from the way an object emits light, characterised by it’s hue, saturation and brightness..it is vital for expressing mood and style.
What is proportion?
The relationship in size of parts to the whole or two connected objects in an artwork
What is shape?
Enclosed two-dimensional areas defined by lines or changes in color or value. Shapes can be geometric (circles, squares) or organic (natural forms like leaves or clouds).
What is space?
The area between and around objects. It can be positive (occupied by objects) or negative (empty). Effective use of space can create a sense of depth and balance in a composition.
What is texture?
The surface quality or feel of an object, which can be actual or implied . Texture adds interest and depth to the illustration.
