Q
What are the 8 elements of a design?
A
Line, Point, Shape, Texture, Form, Color, Value, Space
2
Q
Point
A
- Most basic element
- No dimension
- Indicated by coordinates, indicates a location
3
Q
Line
A
- Only length
- Defines boundaries, indicates volume
- 4 types: veritcal, horozontal, diagonal, curved
4
Q
Color
A
- Hue, value, saturation
- Cool: blue, purple, green
- Warm: red, orange, yellow
5
Q
Value
A
- relative lightness/darkness of a colot, object, or shape
- illusion of 2D and 3D
6
Q
Shape
A
- 2D area enclosed by lines or curves
- Geometric: square, circle, triangle
- Mechanical: sinple shapes
- Organic: natural or simulating nature
7
Q
Form
A
- 3D volume/solid
- often inplied on a 2D surface by use of value
8
Q
Space
A
- Areas between and around parts of an image/ implied depth
- Positive/Nagative
- Open/Cramped
9
Q
Texture
A
- The look and feel of a surface
- Smooth/Rough
10
Q
Balance
A
- Distribution of elements
- Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Radial
11
Q
Emphasis
A
- Draws attention to one area
- Focal point
12
Q
Contrast
A
Degree of relative contrast between elements
13
Q
Rythem
A
- Repeated use of lines or shapes
- Regular (same intervals), Random, (irregular intervals), Gradated (Elements are idebtical except for one that gets bigger/smaller), and Graduated (repeated element gets closer/farther)
14
Q
Proportion
A
- Comparative relationship based on size
- Scale
