(YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT AND SAVE IN YOUR ICT FOLDER. FILL IN THE BLANKS AND THEN SHARE WITH ME) DO NOT PRINT The principles of design are Balance Proximity Alignment Repetition Contrast White Space These principles govern the relationships between the elements used in the design and organize the composition as a whole. Successful design incorporates the use of the principles to communicate the intended message effectively. They help designers organize the images on the page, so that it feels more …show more content…
Symmetrical balance is an arrangement of elements so that they are evenly distributed to the left and to the right, or top and bottom of center. Asymmetrical balance is an arrangement of unlike objects of equal weight on each side of the page. Proximity: The Principle of Proximity states that you group r_______ items together, move them __________close to each other so the related items are seen as one cohesive group rather than a bunch of __________bits. The basic purpose of proximity is to ________ By simply grouping related elements together into _________ proximity automatically creates organization. If the information is organized, it is more likely to be_______and more likely to be ___________. As in life, the proximity, or the ____________implies a relationship. By grouping similar elements into one unit, several things instantly happen: The page becomes more organized. You understand where to begin reading the message, and you know when you are finished. And the "white space" (the space around the letters) automatically becomes more organized …show more content…
The Principle of Alignment states, "Nothing should be placed on the page arbitrarily. Every item should have a ________________________ with something else on the page." When items are aligned, the result is a stronger cohesive unit. The basic purpose of alignment is to _________and organize the page. Be conscious of where you place the elements (line, image, type) • Always find something else on the page to _________with, even if the two objects are physically far away from each other. • Avoid using more than _________ text alignment on the page (that is, don't _________ some text and_________align other text) Repetition: The Principle of Repetition states, "__________ some aspect of the design throughout the entire piece." The repetitive element may be a ___________a thick line, a certain bullet, __________ design element, particular format, spatial relationship, etc. It can be anything that a reader will visually recognize as being a ___________ Repetition can be thought of as consistency - it is a conscious effort to _________all parts of a design.Repetition helps organize the information; it guides the reader and helps to unify parts of the design. Repetitive elements establish a sophisticated continuity and can
Many of the principles of design are also seen in Wheel of Fortune. Both variety and unity are displayed; variety in the different objects that are in the "wheel" and unity through the color scheme. Rhythm and direction of the painting are shown in the "wheel", and how the lines move from
We must also deduce whether the balance is symmetrical or asymmetrical. If one splits the painting in half, one can see it is not completely balanced. You have more “weight” on the right-hand side than you do on the left. However, regarding art, it is balanced. Even though there are more objects on the right, the values of the bright white shirt give it a sense of equal distribution. This uneven, yet balanced proportion of the art tells the viewer that it is asymmetrical. It is asymmetrical because it is unequally distributed, yet it is still
This means that the sender has to think and assess the circumstances that they are placed in before they start to communicate. The sender transmitting the message needs to think about what and how they are trying to say the message. For example, in a doctor’s surgery, an idea will occur as the practitioner thinks about how he/she will communicate with the current patient. This allows him to communicate more
* When reading literature: memory, symbol, and pattern help you understand the text better. If you don’t comprehend literature, then you won’t know the real meaning behind that passage. But that’s why memory, symbol, and pattern come in to help. I think the recognition of patterns make it easier to read complicated literature because then we can analyze what
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them- The importance of this principle is that students must be able to deeply understand a problem by themselves this ensure that the student can analyze the problem and plan on how the will solve it.
Use of colors – The use of colors for headings, sections make the document easier to navigate by identifying sections using colors.
The second principal is uniformity. One example from the book that stood out to me was the system that The Maids have for cleaning a customer’s home. “For vacuuming, begin in the master bedroom; when dusting, begin in the room directly off the kitchen. When you enter a room, mentally divide it into sections no wider than your reach. Begin in the section to your left and, with each section, move from left to right and top to bottom. This way nothing is ever overlooked” (73). When first reading this, I thought that it seemed like an unnecessary rule to remember, but after reading about the sorts of houses they clean, it is necessary. When The Maids are cleaning Mrs. W’s house she has to follow the system in order to make sure she does all the rooms, and to make sure she does not do the same room twice. “The Maids’ system turned out to be a lifesaver” (81).
The two principles of design that I see in this artwork are unity and variety. The repetition of the plank boards give unity to the room, repeating the shape and colors gives it balance. All
Lastly is Public distance, which is 10 feet and beyond. The Public distance can be described as the public distance, giving you plenty of space between the message sender and receiver. In this distance, effective communicators adjust their nonverbal behavior to conform to the communicative rules of their
The elements of design were created by Arthur Wesley Dow to help people see, describe, and create visual qualities in a systematic way. It consists of 7 elements: line, shape, form, colour, value, texture and space.
Balance is a way for shapes to be arranged. There are different types of balances in art. First lets start with symmetrical balance. Symmetrical balance is where the elements in a piece of artwork are given equal weight from an imaginary line in the middle, that way if it was cut in half, it would be equal on both sides. It’s near perfect symmetry and symmetrical balance is the most formal. Next is asymmetrical balance. Asymmetrical balance to me doesn’t necessarily mean symmetry. Asymmetrical balance is where different elements are placed scattered throughout the piece of artwork. Asymmetrical balance is the most informal as to how balance occurs. Although,
The history of graphic art and the cycle of politicization, depoliticization and then repoliticization span the late 19th century through and into the 21st century. Evolving from humble beginnings into the commercial behemoth it’s become to today this essay will explore graphic design’s evolution and the politics that affected this growing art movement during this influential timeline.
Understanding memory, symbol, and pattern allows the human mind to understand literature on a much deeper level for many reasons. Instead of reading just reading literature on the surface level, the deeper meaning and the author’s purpose for the piece can begin to be understood. These three things help break up the monotony in a lengthy piece of literature, allowing the reader to focus on the plot and not get lost in the insignificant details. More importantly, understanding these techniques will definitely improve the reader’s ability to relate literature to other books and allow them make predictions on the outcome of the plot much earlier. All in all, literature becomes more rewarding when the reader understands the author’s
Web sites are just like magazines, newspapers, brochures, menus, or even directions on how to make nitroglycerin from house-hold goods, in that they all have to be put together in such a manner that whoever is reading or browsing over it will be able to clearly distinguish this from that. In this sense, a critique of any particular web site will have justification, while carefully considering also that this is an altogether new medium of information exchange. Now, all of this talk of togetherness is actually a general reference to basic design principles, such as color coordination, if color is used, text size, font choice/ style, art integration, accessibility, and just plain and simple design of the page. For
Close to information is a function associated with the establishment of new connections and relationships - the communicative. Here, the main task is also to exchange views and information. Therefore, we can speak of a single information and communication functions. Regardless of the nature, type, etc. specific negotiations, this function required in varying degrees, is present at any negotiations.
