what are the elements of design? |
space, line, shape, form, texture, color |
|
what are the principles of design? |
balance, rhythm, emphasis, unity and proportion/scale |
|
what is the principle of repetition? |
- design is copied or repeated - a pattern carried throughout the design |
|
how does texture affect color? |
smooth surfaces reflects more light than rough surfaces ( making them brighter and lighter) rough surfaces absorb more light ( making them look darker and less intense) |
|
what do curved lines suggest? |
if you put too many curved lines it will make the design busy |
|
what is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance?
|
horizontal: leads the eyes left to rightvertical: leads the eyes up radical: is curved
|
|
what do diagonal lines suggest? |
action, movement, and excitement |
|
what is space? |
the area provided for a particular purpose
|
|
what are four types of rhythm? |
Gradation, Repetition, Radiation, Continuous line |
|
what is asymmetrical balance? Example?
|
parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. ex: butterfly |
|
what is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines?
|
horizontal: leads the eyes from left to right vertical: leads the eyes up |
|
what is the golden mean? |
PHI (fee) |
|
what is the difference between shape and form? |
form is 3 dimensions and shape is a flat or silhouette image. |
|
what are five types of balances? |
vertical, horizontal, radical, asymmetrical, symmetrical. |
|
what does unity or harmony balance mean? |
all the elements and principles of design are working together to create harmony |
|
what are the two things texture involves?
|
how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
|
what are the four types of line?
|
vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curve, |
|
what is proportion?
|
how the design is visually divided |
|
which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest?
|
rhythm, emphasis, unity, proportion, scale |
|
what is symmetrical balance? Example?
|
when both parts are identical |
|
what is emphasis? What is another name for it?
|
how one object or item stands out. another name is unity |
|
what happens when you see a continuous line?
|
gives the design movement |
|
what is another name for symmetrical balance?
|
formal |
|
what is another name for asymmetrical balance?
|
informal |
|
what is the difference between gradation and radiation?
|
gradation is one element of design changes and radiation is lines or designs radiate or move out from a central point. |
