Elements and Principles of design
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | Space, line, form, shape, texture and form |
What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Unity, emphasis and proportion/scale |
What is the principle repetition? | Where the design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces and rough surfaces absorb more light |
What do curved lines suggest? | adds a soft, graceful effect on the design, but too much curved lines will make a room busy |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | vertical balance is where the top and bottom parts are equal. Horizontal balance is where the left and right parts are equal. Radial balance is where elements radiate out from the design. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | They 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, like a room with the same objects on each side expect for one thing that is different like a different picture frame or decoration. |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Vertical lines Lead the eye up and horizontal lines Leads the eye from left to right |
What is the golden mean? | 3-5 ratio |
What is the difference between shape and form? | shape is a A flat or silhouette image and form is The outlines edges of a three dimensional object. Shape has 2 dimensions and form has a 3 |
What are the five types of balance? | formal, informal, horizontal, vertical and radial |
What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles of design work together to create harmony. |
What are the two things texture involves? | Involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
What are the four types of line? | Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal, Curved |
What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | informal (asymmetrical) |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | when both parts are identical. Plants, insects, humans |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object or item stands out (focal point) |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | Design creates a continuous line for eye to follow |
What is another name for symmetrical balance? | formal balance |
What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | informal balance |
What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | Radiation-Lines or designs move out from center point. Gradation -Designs increase or decrease in size or One element of design changes |
