'''The Elements of Design:'''

The Elements of Design are the basic building blocks of any design or composition.

The Elements of Design include:

* Line
* Shape
* Form
* Space
* Value
* Color
* Texture
* Functionality
* Materials
* Finishing quality
* Lighting and presentation

'''The Principles of Design:'''

The Principles of Design are guidlines for organization.

The Principles of Design include:
* Rhythm
* Unity (harmony)
* Economy (deletion)
* Repetition
* Similarity
* Concentration
* Radiation
* Gradation
* Anomaly
* Proximity
* Texture (pattern)
* Closure
* Direction
* Meeting or exceeding design expectations

'''Unity'''

Unity (harmony) is the similarity between the design elements. Its function is to organize design elements.
It is created through repetitive or limited use of design elements.
The weakness of unity is that it is boring and monotonous.

There are two types of unity: Dominant and Subordinate.
* Dominant Unity is the group of elements repeated less.
* Subordinate Unity is the group of elements that is repeated more.

'''Contrast'''

Contrast, on the other hand, is the difference between design elements.
The function of contrast is to create visual interest; it is a break in Repetition.

'''Emphasis'''

Emphasis is contrast that clarifies.

'''Focal Point'''

Is an area of extreme contrast.

'''Movement'''

Movement is visual arrangements that create visual pathways.
Movement is created through repetition or the use of lines.

'''Format'''

Format is the space in which a composition is created.

'''Balance'''

Balance is the equalization of elements.
* Symmetrical Balance has equal weights and equal distance from the center.
* Asymmetrical Balance has unequal weights with the larger weight closer to the center.
* Radial Balance has design elements radiating from a point.
* Intuitive Balance elements spread uniformly through a space.

'''Assignment 1:'''

Create a composition for each of the Design Principles listed above, utilizing the design elements.

('''Example:''' Create a composition using the ''design principle'' rhythm, by using a line (''a design element'').

Contrast, on the other hand, is the differences between the design elements.
The function of contrast is to create visual interest.
Contrast is creative through how it is a break in Repetition.

'''Emphasis'''

Emphasis is contrast that clarifies.
