Design Elements

1. Point,

2. Line,

3. Plane,

4. Volume


Design Principles

1. Balance

2. Unity/ harmony

3. Movement

4. Rhythm

5. Emphasis

6. Proportion

7. Pattern

8. Variety

9. Gradation


Design Principles

Balance: Refers to the equalization of elements in a work of art.

-There are three kinds of balance:

1. symmetrical- formal, divided in half same

2. asymmetrical- informal, divided in half not same

3. radial- circular, design starts from center > out

Design Principles

Unity/Harmony: Relates to the sense of oneness, wholeness, or order in a work of art. Combining similar colors,

shapes, lines, textures, and patterns in an artwork can create harmony.


Design Principles

Unity/Harmony:


Design Principles

Movement: Refers to the arrangement of parts in a work of art to create a slow to fast action of the eye.

-Pattern, contrast, line can create this.


Design Principles

Movement:


Design Principles

Rhythm: It is a type of movement in an artwork or design often created by repeated objects.

-There are different types of rhythm:

1. Regular- Example: 9s9s9s9s9s9

2. Irregular- Example: qqeeqqeyyy


Design Principles

Rhythm: several different rhythms ...

Repetition:

the regular or harmonious recurrence of elements, including: lines, shapes, forms or colors.horizontal (beams) and vertical (columns) Rhythms / Grids MacIntosh Work connecting points in space.

Progression:

a sequence or transition produced by increasing or decreasing one or more qualities, progression is ordered systematic change: Radiation (as in a spiral) , gradation (as in forms or colors that evolve).

Contrast:

deliberate placement of elements to create opposition by abrupt transition rather than gradual. Contrast heightens values/interest through comparison (or Tension).


Design Principles

Rhythm (repetition):


Design Principles

Rhythm (progression):


Design Principles

Rhythm (contrast):


Design Principles

Emphasis: refers to placing greater attention to certain areas or objects in a piece of work.

-Emphasis can be created through sudden and abrupt changes in opposing elements.

(Example: bright yellow dot in large black area)


Design Principles

Emphasis:


Design Principles

Proportion: Refers to the relationship of certain elements to the whole and to each other.


Design Principles

Proportion:


Design Principles

Pattern: is created by repetition of (not limited to) shape, line, color, or texture


Design Principles

Pattern:


Design Principles

Variety: It is achieved through diversity and change. Using different line types, colors, textures, shapes…..


Design Principles

Variety:


Design Principles

Gradation: Refers to a way of combining elements by using a series of gradual changes.

-Examples of gradation:

1. gradually from small shapes to large shapes

2. gradually from a dark color to a light color

3. gradually from shadow to highlight


Design Principles

Gradation (from dark to light):


Design Principles

Gradation (from big to small) also (from light to dark):


Design Principles

Guess what?


Design Principles

In architecture?

Today’s exercise

1. On a piece of Canson that is cut to 30X30cm, you need to express at least five of the design principles illustrated today (use more than two pieces if needed)

2. Opportunity to improve your work
