Lesson 4: Image and Design Flashcards
Are the building blocks of any piece of design and considered as fundamental components of any visual presentationThese
Elements of design
What are the 7 elements of design?
- Point
- Line
- Space
- Shape
- Size
- Texture
- Color
This element of design establishes a position and acts as a visual focus.
Point
This element of design is created by connecting two or more points.
Line
This element of design refers to the distance or area around or between the elements in a design
Space
This is the filled space, the object or element in the design
Positive space
This is often called white space. These are empty areas that create spatial energy within a design and directs the eye from one part or another
Negative space
What are the three basic types of shapes?
- geometric
- natural
- abstract
This type of shape involves squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles
Geometric shapes
These shapes are formed from natural things like animals and plants
Natural shapes
These shapes are icons, stylized figures, and graphic illustrations, are modified natural shapes to portray emotions or ideas by the views
Abstract shapes
This element of design refers to how large or small something is in a document. This attracts attention and helps fit the layout together.
Size
This element of design refers to the look or feel of a surface and creates a mood or scene in a design
Texture
This element of design can produce dramatic changes in a design when it is used to emphasize things or create images.
Color
What are the 10 principles of design?
- Balance
- Contrast
- Emphasis
- Rhythm
- Repetition
- Proximity
- Unity
- Movement
- Proportion
- Pixels
This principle of design refers to the equal distribution of visual weight. Elements such as size, lightness, and thickness can be scaled accordingly in a design.
Balance
This type of balance has uneven arrangement of elements such as unequal weight, color, value, shape and texture in a design.
Asymmetrical balance
This type of balance has even distribution of elements in a design.
Symmetrical balance
This principle of design is the placement of heavy and light elements within the page. The larger, darker elements appear heavier in the designs than smaller lighter elements.
Contrast
This principle of design is the distribution of heavy and light elements in the design. It determined which elements within the design are focused on the most the which ones are given less attention.
Emphasis
This principle of design is the repetition of one more elements in a design. It creates mood and a sense of movement. Variety in repeated elements makes the rhythm of a design more exciting.
Rhythm
This principle of design works with pattern to make the work of art seem active. The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the work of art.
Repetition
This principle of design is the grouping and shaping of objects in a composition.
Proximity
This principle of design is the feeling of harmony among all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness
Unity
