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 designwith 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
