color and size.
2. Proportion pertains to the relationship in size between a part and
the whole.
3. Balance maybe produced in two ways, either formal or informal.
Formal balance or symmetry has equal color, shape and size on either
side of a design. While the informal balance occult has unequal
proportion.
4. Rhythm it is a smooth related movement. Pattern and line carry
the eyes along without jerky motion. The eye automatically connects
points in space.
5. Emphasis the eye carried first to the most important part of the
design and then to the other details in order of their importance. This
referred to as the center of interest of a design.
