Principles of Compositional Design

Principles of DesignThe principles of design are the recipe for a good work of art. The principles combine the elements to an aesthetic placement of things that will produce a good design.

• Center of Interest• Balance• Harmony• Contrast• Directional Movement• Rhythm

Center of Interest

It is an area that first attracts attention in a composition. This area is more important when compared to the other objects or elements in a composition. This can be by contrast of values, more colors, and placement in the format.

Balance

It is a feeling of visual equality in shape, form, value, color, etc. Balance can be symmetrical or evenly balanced or asymmetrical and un-evenly balanced.

Harmony

It brings together a composition with similar units. If your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in just one geometric shape.

Contrast

It offers some change in value creating a visual discord in composition. Contrast shows the difference between shapes and can be used as a background to bring objects and forward in design. It can be also be used to create an area of emphasis.

Directional Movement

It is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way placement and position. Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

Rhythm

It is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly. Like a dance it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.
