Why use Design Principles?


Provides organization of concepts to
apply in structural elements of
design to create and develop
effective works of art of material
messages in direct or indirect ways.

Definition:

Balance

The distribution of the visual


weight of objects, colors,
texture, and space.
Types:
1.Symmetrical: the
elements used on one side
of the design are similar to
those on the other side.
2.Assymetrical: The sidas
are different but look
balanced.

Emphasis
Definition:
The part of the design that
catches the viewers attention
using sizes, colors, textures,
shapes, etc.
Example:
Artists will make one area
stand out by contrasting it
with other areas.

Movement
Definition:
The path the viewers eye takes
through the work of art, often to
focal point areas.
Example:
Movement can be directed
along lines, edges, shapes,
and color within the work of
art.

Pattern
Definition:
The repetition of an
object or symbol all
over the work of art.

Repetition
Definition:
A pattern that makes
the work of art seem
active and creates unity
within the work of art.

Proportion
Definition:
The feeling of unity created
when all parts (sizes, amounts
or numbers) relate well with
each other.
Example:
When drawing the human
figure, proportion can refer
to the size of the head
compared to the rest of the
body.

Rhythm
Definition:
When one or more elements of
design are used repeatedly to
create a feeling of organized
movement.
Example:
Rhythm creates a mood like
music or dancing.
To keep rhythm exciting and
active, variety is essential.

Variety
Definition:
The use of several
elements of design to
hold the viewers
attention and to guide
the viewers eye
through and around the
work of art.

Unity
Definition:
The feeling of harmony
between all parts of the
work of art, which
creates a sense of
completeness.
