TABLE OF CONTENTS

LECTURES

This week we learn about 7 principles of design.  A design doesn't have to strictly follow these rules to be good, sometimes a good design ignore one or more of the principles.

The 7 principles of design:
  • Emphasis
    • Refers to design's focal point and the importance of each element with it. 
  • Balance and alignment
    • Every little thing in composition has a particular weight. Color, size, and texture are all factors that account for weights. Balance and alignment in composition are all important to ensure it is pleasing to look at.
  • Contrast
    • Contrast creates space and difference between elements in your design. Understanding contrast is crucial if you want to work with type since it implies type's weight and size are balanced.
  • Repetition
    • Repetition is a principle of design that is vital for more than just one printed product. 
  • Proportion
    • The visual size and weight of parts in composition and their correlation is referred to as proportion. It often helps to approach design in section, instead of a whole.
  • Movement
    • Controlling the elements in a composition such that the eye is led from one to the next and the information is transmitted appropriately to your audience is known as a movement. Movement creates the story or the narratives of your work.
  • White space
    • The empty space around the parts in your composition is known as white space. White space isn't just empty; it helps organize and create hierarchy.
    • White space around an element has always been related to aesthetics in viewers. It informs our eyes that objects in one area are separated from objects in other areas. Active negative space can be used to communicate numerous themes in one entertaining, creative design.
