LESSON 4 Flashcards
What are the following elements of design?
point, line, space, shape, color, size, texture
It’s created by connecting two or more points. It can also have other elements like color, texture, and movement applied to it. Though basic in appearance, this element of design can control the viewer’s thoughts and emotions, and lead a viewer’s eye through space.
Line
Refers to the surface that acts as a visual container, drawing attention to other elements in a layout. Designers use this element as a means of defining the format and proportion in a layout.
Space
a two- or three-dimensional object that stands out from the space next to it because of a defined or
implied boundary. This element can live in different areas in space, and have other elements like line, color, texture, or movement. Everything is ultimately a ?, so you must always think in terms of how the various elements of your
design are creating ?, and how those ? are interacting.
Shape
It is one of the most obvious elements of design, for both the user and the designer. It can stand alone, as a background, or be applied to other elements, like lines, shapes, textures, or typography. This creates a mood within the piece and tells a story about the brand. This says something different, and combinations can alter that impression further
Color
This element refers to how large or small something is in a document. This element is very important in making the elements of a document coincide with one another and makes the layout more attractive and organized. It displays what is most important, attracts attention, and helps to fit the layout together.
Size
This element is the look or feel of a surface. This visual element creates an illusion of texture on a
printed material or webpage. Printed patterns are a type of visual element. Tactile ? can be felt physically. Nowadays, even paper can come in various ?. The wide selection of this element used on paper and other materials
can be translated accurately into rich, layered graphics.
Texture
simply a dot. It establishes a position and acts as a visual focus.
Point
What are the following principles of design?
Balance, Contrast, Emphasis, Rhythm, Unity
This principle refers to the equal distribution of weight, which in design, applies to visual weight. Elements such as size, lightness, and thickness can be scaled accordingly in a design.
Balance
The two kinds of balance are?
Symmetrical and Asymmetrical balance.
This balance is the even distribution of elements in a design.
Symmetrical balance
This balance is the uneven arrangement of elements such that one side of a design has more weight.
Asymmetrical balance
These elements can be used as balancing elements
Color, value, size, and texture
It is the placement of heavy and light elements within the page. The larger, darker elements
appear heavier in the designs than smaller and lighter elements.
Contrast
