Review Week 12

How can you, as the designer, use principles of design to help compose a page?
I can use the principals of design to create art that draws the eye and either makes sense or is unrealistic.


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

Balance- the distribution of heavy and light objects across a page.

Proportion- the relative size and scale of different elements in a design.

Rhythm- Organized movement in space and time.

Emphasis- stressing a single arc of focus instead of having a maze of details of equal importance.

Unity- the wholeness of a composition. 


Repetition- Repeating some aspect or element of the design throughout the entire document


Variety- Pertains to differences and diversity, it's what makes a work of art interesting.
