Review Week 12

How can you, as the designer, use principles of design to help compose a page? Principles of design can help compose a design based on the message that I am trying to display. It can aid in the effectiveness that I can communicate with the audience.

What are the principles of design (define each in your own words)?

Repetition is repeating an element throughout the design.

Proportion/Scale is the size of elements in relation to each other and the work as a whole.

Balance is the distribution of heavy and light elements in a design.

Emphasis is stressing an element to give it a greater importance.

Unity is the wholeness of a composition.

Variety is the differences in a design.

Rhythm is continuity, recurrence, or organized movement.

Contrast is differences in two related objects.
