Lines
• A line is a fundamental mark or stroke used in drawing in which the length is longer than the width.
• A line adds direction or emphases to an image
TONE
• Difference between light and dark elements of an image
• Tone sets the mood of the image
COLOR• Color is the part of light that is reflected by the
object we see
• Adds design with the color wheel being used as a tool
TEXTURE• Meaning the way a surface feels or is
perceived to feel
• Texture can be added to attract or repel interest to an element, depending on the pleasantness of the texture
Shape• A shape is defined as an area that stands out
from the space next to or around it due to a defined or implied boundary or because of differences of value, color, or texture
• All objects are composed of shapes and all other 'Elements of Design' are shapes in some way
FORM• Form is any three dimensional object
• It enhances tone, texture and color
size• Using the relative size of elements against
each other can attract attention to a focal point
• When elements are designed larger than life, scale is being used to show drama
SPACE• In design, space is concerned with the area
• For a two-dimensional design space concerns creating the illusion of a third dimension on a flat surface
BALANCE• It is a state of equalized tension and
equilibrium, which may not always be calm
• Balance adds equality to a picture
EMPHASES• Planning a consistent and similar design is an
important aspect of a designers work to make their focal point visible
• Finds the balance between similarity and contrast
Proportion• Using the relative size of elements against
each other
• Attracts attention to a focal point
REPETITION• The principle of repetition simply means the
reusing of the same or similar elements throughout your design
• Repetition of certain design elements in a design will bring a clear sense of unity, consistency
UNITY• According to Alex White, author of The
Elements of Graphic Design, to achieve visual composition it has to have unity
• A good balance between unity and variety
must be established to avoid a chaotic or a lifeless design
CONTRAST• Opposition or juxtaposition of different forms,
lines, or colors in a work of art to intensify each element's properties and produce a more dynamic expressiveness
• Adds detail and design to a picture
PROXIMITY • Proximity in design simply means that objects
near each other are seen as a unit. It really is that simple and it’s something you see every day
• Adds objects to a photo
