Principles of Design
These are the tools that blend the
ingredients for any design project. You can
use all the design elements or ingredients for
a good design, but if you dont blend them
with rhythm, balance, contrast, etc., then you
will not have a cake just a mushy bowl of
batter!

Design Principles to Consider
1) Balance - Balance helps the viewer decide
how to interpret your design. If its designed
with asymmetrical balance, the design will
evoke emotions like excitement, curiosity, or
anxiety. If the design is symmetrical, or
totally even, it will convey peace, calm, and
tranquility.

2) Contrast -Without values, you cant
create contrast. Without smoothness or
roughness (or the illusion of those textures),
you arent dealing with contrast. You can usevarious design elements to create contrast.
Without contrast there would be no day or
night and without contrast you cannot create
an interesting design.

3) Direction - Direction is the way to lead theviewers eye through your design layout orcomposition. Direction is created by line, but italso can be created by the way you use color to
lead the eye through a design. Shapes, spaces,values, and perspective all create the illusion of depth in two-dimensional design, and this depthis needed to create a direction for the eye totake that journey. In three-dimensional design
those shapes, spaces, values, and perspectivesare all used to lead people through a design.

4) Economy - If you can remove an
element within a design and that design
still works, then youve practicedeconomy in design. Dont offer more than
is needed, but be sure to include all that
is needed to create an intelligent andeconomical design.

5) Emphasis - You can lead that viewer all
through your garden, through your
building, through your advertisement, or
through your painting, but if you dont
stop that viewer with one point of
interest, then youve lost your viewer.
The emphasis in a design is the message
that you want to convey.

6) Proportion - You can use proportion to createsurreal images (like Dali) to shock your viewers
into noticing your work. Or, you can use
proportion realistically to emphasize themessage conveyed through typography.
Proportion gives the viewer a leg to lean on. In
other words, a realistic composition creates a
feeling of balance, whereas unrealistic
proportions create a feeling of emphasis on the
object thats out of proportion.

7) Rhythm - Repetition, rhythm, bam, bam,
bam. While this principle of design can
create boredom, it can also be used to createdepth (one element smaller than the next),
excitement or peace (contrast), or emphasis
on a certain subject. Like music, rhythmkeeps the world singing and dancing.

8) Unity-
This is the principle that
pulls a design together. While
theres no one rule for unity, thisprinciple can remind you to check
all the other design elements and
principles so that you know youhavent missed a tick in your plans.
