Elements and Princip
Elements and Principles
Term | Definition |
---|---|
What are the elements of design? | Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture, Space |
What are the principles of design? | Rhythm, Proportion/Scale, Balance, Emphasis, Harmony |
What is the principle repetition? | Design is copied or repeated at least three times and up. |
How does texture affect color? | The rougher the texture the more light it absorbs/ is darker and matte. The smoother the busier an intense. |
What do curved lines suggest? | Soft, Delicate, Natural |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | When the left and right pars are equal it is horizontal balance, top and bottom is vertical balance, and radial balance is when elements radiate outward from the center. |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Excitement, Movement, Speed |
What is space? | Space is how much room is in the design. In terms of height and width. Example: If trying to give more height to a room one could use tall windows or columns while if trying to add width one might use crown molding. |
What are the four types of rhythm? | Gradation, Radiation, Repetition, Continuous Line |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | When parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. Like objects on a bookshelf equally weighed out within it |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal lines are relaxing and restful while vertical tend to be strong and formal as well as adds height to a room. |
What is the golden mean? | The proportionate ratio of 3:5 |
What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape deals with the 2D side of things while Form is 3D |
What are the five types of balance? | Radial, Vertical, Horizontal, Symmetrical, and Asymmetrical |
What does unity or harmony mean? | Most to all design elements/principles are found in the design as well as a specific color harmony is identified. |
What are the two things texture involves? | How something feels or how the way someone thinks it feels. |
What are the four types of line? | Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal, Curved |
What is proportion? | Tells how the design is visually divided |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Asymmetrical Balance |
What is symmetrical balance? Example? | When parts of the design are equal. Example: humans, insects. |
What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | Causes one object or idea to stand out, it is also the most dominant aspect of design. Another word for emphasis is Focal point. |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | The eye follows an unbroken line. Doesn't break up goes all the way. |
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? | Gradation is consistent in everything except for one area while radiation has to move from the center out. |
