  3. 1) Line 2) Shape 3) Direction 4) Size 5) Texture

    6) Color The elements of design are the things that make up a design. Elements Of Design – Definition
  4. Line • The linear marks made with a pen or

    brush or the edge created when two shapes meet. Elements Of Design - Line
  5. Shape • A shape is a self contained defined area

    ex. Squares, circles, free formed shapes or natural shapes. Elements Of Design - Shape
  6. Direction • All lines have direction Horizontal, Vertical or Oblique.

    • Horizontal suggests calmness, stability and tranquility. • Vertical gives a feeling of balance, formality and alertness. • Oblique suggests movement and action Elements Of Design - Direction
  7. Size • Size is simply the relationship of the area

    occupied by one shape to that of another. Elements Of Design - Size
  8. Texture • Texture is the surface quality of a shape

    - rough, smooth, soft hard glossy etc. Elements Of Design - Texture
  9. Color • Color is light reflected off objects. • Color

    has three main characteristics: • hue or its name (red, green, blue, etc.) • value (how light or dark it is) • intensity (how bright or dull it is). Elements Of Design - Color
  10. 1) Balance 2) Proximity 3) Alignment 4) Repetition 5) Contrast

    6) Space The Principles of design are what we do to design elements. How we apply the principles of design determines how successful the design is. Principles Of Design – Definition
  11. Balance • Balance in design is similar to balance in

    physics. A large shape close to the center can be balanced by a small shape close to the edge. • Balance provides stability and structure to a design. • It’s the weight distributed in the design by the placement of your elements. Principles Of Design – Balance
  12. Balance Principles Of Design – Balance Balance in graphic design

    can be achieved by adjusting the visual weight of each element, in terms of scale, color, contrast, etc.
  13. Balance - Symmetrical balance Principles Of Design – Balance occurs

    when the visual weight of design elements evenly divided in terms of horizontal, vertical, or radial. This style relies on a balance of two similar elements from two different sides.
  14. Balance - Asymmetrical balance Principles Of Design – Balance •

    occurs when the visual weight of design elements are not evenly distributed in the central axis of the page. • This style relies on visual games such as scale, contrast, color to achieve a balance. • We often see a design with the big picture offset by the small but visible text balanced because of the visual games.
  15. Balance by value Principles Of Design – Balance occurs when

    a small area with bright/high value colors is combined with a large area with a dark/low value color.
  16. Balance by value Principles Of Design – Balance a man

    and a dog that has a high value (solid black) with a broad area that has a lower value (gray).
  17. Balance by shape Principles Of Design – Balance • Created

    through field of complex composition with a flat field. • Complex/more detailed field will appear in balance with the flat area in the opposite side.
  18. Balance by texture Principles Of Design – Balance Small area

    with an interesting texture looks balanced when combined with a large flat area (no texture). Rippling water has a water texture which attracts the focus, appears balanced with a wider area but not textured.
  19. Proximity • Proximity creates relationship between elements. • It provides

    a focal point. • Proximity doesn’t mean that elements have to be placed together, it means they should be visually connected in someway. Principles Of Design – Proximity
  20. Balance by position Principles Of Design – Balance another example

    of Asymmetric balance, where a large object on one side balanced by putting the smaller objects on the other side.
  21. Balance by eye direction Principles Of Design – Balance help

    guide the eye and mind movement of the viewer. They can also bind the work into a single entity.
  22. Balance by eye direction Principles Of Design – Balance •

    Can also occur when we lead the reader's eyes to the main content. • The objects are used as "tools" to guide the reader's eyes composed with a larger area, while the main content displayed in a smaller area.
  23. Alignment • Allows us to create order and organization. •

    Aligning elements allows them to create a visual connection with each other. Principles Of Design – Alignment
  24. Repetition • Repetition strengthens a design by tying together individual

    elements. • It helps to create association and consistency. • Repetition can create rhythm (a feeling of organized movement). Principles Of Design – Repetition
  25. Contrast • Contrast is the juxtaposition of opposing elements (opposite

    colors on the color wheel, or value light / dark, or direction - horizontal / vertical). • Contrast allows us to emphasize or highlight key elements in your design. Principles Of Design – Contrast
  26. Contrast Some types of contrast to keep in mind are

    the relative darkness (called value in color theory), weight, form, placement, quantity, texture, and scale. Principles Of Design – Contrast
  27. Contrast Without contrast, a designed piece may appear static, uninteresting,

    and hard for the reader to access because it is not immediately clear what to look at first. Principles Of Design – Contrast
  28. Space • Space in art refers to the distance or

    area between, around, above, below, or within elements. • Both positive and negative space are important factors to be considered in every design. Principles Of Design – Contrast
