    The 8 Principles of Design

    1. Balance
    2. Contrast
    3. Pattern
    4. Proportion
    5. Emphasis
    6. Variety
    7. Unity
    8. Rhythm & Movement

     Balance- As you know, it is the visual weight of an art piece. Every piece of art has Balance.
    The types of Balance are; Radial, Asymmetrical and Symmetrical Balance.
     Contrast- It is achieved when opposite elements are arranged together. For example, light
    and dark colours, smooth and rough textures, large and small shapes.
     Pattern- Is a design created by a motif that repeats itself. They can be made by repeating
    shape, line or colour.
     Proportion- Or in other words Scale, is the size relationship between two or more objects, It
    can be how the parts fit together to make a whole.
     Emphasis- Creates a focal point that guides the eye to a specific element, what ‘grabs’ your
    attention. This is usually utilised by colour, contrast, proportion and rhythm.
     Variety- It is a principle of art that adds interest to an artwork. Straight lines next to curvy
    lines, organic shapes among geometric shapes, bright colours next to dull colours.
     Unity- It is achieved when separate parts work together in an art piece. Unity creates a
    sense of harmony and wholeness by using similar elements and placing them in a way that
    creates ‘oneness’.
     Rhythm & Movement- Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through a work of art. It
    can directed along lines, edges, shapes and colour. Rhythm, is created when one or more
    elements are used repeatedly to create a feeling of movement. It creates a mood like music
    or dancing.
