The Principles are concepts used to organize or arrange the structural elements of design. The way in which these principles are applied affects the expressive content, or the message of the work. How one applies these principles determines how successful a design maybe<\/p>\n
The principles are:<\/strong><\/p>\n Balance<\/strong> As a basic principle of art (specifically of design), the definition of balance refers to the ways in which the elements (lines, shapes, colors, textures, etc.) of a piece are arranged. Balance is a psychological sense of equilibrium.<\/p>\n As a design principle, balance places the parts of a visual in an aesthetically pleasing arrangement. It Balance in a three-dimensional object is easy to understand; if balance isn’t achieved, the object tips over. To understand balance in a two-dimensional composition, we must use our imaginations to carry this three-dimensional analogy forward to the flat surface.<\/p>\n The major difference in design balance and physical balance is that your visual elements don\u2019t have physical weight. They do however, have visual weight.<\/p>\n Some things that affect visual weight:<\/strong><\/p>\n Size<\/strong> \u2013 As you would expect larger elements carry more weight<\/p>\n Color<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s not fully understood why, but some colors are Density<\/strong> \u2013 Packing more elements into a given space, gives more Value<\/strong> \u2013 A darker object will have more weight than a lighter Whitespace<\/strong> \u2013 Positive space weighs more than negative space or SYMMETRICAL BALANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n Symmetrical balance is easiest to see in perfectly centered compositions or those with mirror images. In a design with only two elements, they would be almost identical or have nearly the same visual mass.<\/p>\n When a design can be centered or evenly divided both vertically and horizontally it has the most ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n The asymmetrical design is typically off-center or created with an odd or mismatched number of disparate elements. However, you can still have an interesting design without perfect With asymmetrical balance, you are evenly distributing the elements within the format which may mean balancing a large photo with several small graphics. Or, you can create tension by intentionally avoiding balance.<\/p>\n Uneven elements present us with more possibilities for arranging the page and creating interesting designs than perfectly symmetrical objects. Asymmetrical layouts are generally more dynamic and by intentionally ignoring balance the designer can create tension, express movement, or convey PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN The Principles are concepts used to organize or arrange the structural elements of design.
