    LEC 1 Principles of Design

    The document discusses several principles of design: 1) Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial based on the visual weight distribution. 2) Proportion refers to the size relationships between parts of an object or design. 3) Pattern and rhythm involve the repetition or alternation of visual elements. Regular patterns can be single, alternating, or progressing motifs. 4) Emphasis accentuates important focal points. 5) Unity and harmony involve arranging all elements coherently to form an attractive whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

    Balance
    distribution of equal visual weight.

    Symmetrical Balance

    it has equal visual weight on either side of the canvas. it is visually stable.

    Asymmetrical

    an art where both sides of the central axis are not identical, yet appear to leave the
    same visual weight.

    Radial Balance

    it is a symmetrical balance wherein elements are distributed evenly around a certain


    point.

    Proportion
    scaling of objects in relation to each other.
    refers to the size relationships of one part to another, and of the parts to the whole.
    ex. human, house
    relative size and scale of the various elements in a design.
    relationship between objects.

    Pattern
    Rhythm

    visual art which is characterized by the repetition or alternation of elements.

    Regular can be:

    Regular - repetition of a single motif


    Alternating - use of two different motifs alternately
    Progressing - motifs may be presented in a gradual shift in characteristics like size (from
    small to large)

    Emphasis
    accentuation of importance
    focal point that rests on the subordinate space and draws attention to certain parts of
    the composition.
    it is about dominance and influence.
    Unity or Harmony
    harmonious arrangement of elements.
    coherence of the elements of a work to the whole.
    as in music, complementary layers and/or effects can be joined to produce a more
    attractive whole. The composition is complex but everything appears to fit with
    everything else. The whole is better than the sum of its parts.
