Principles of Design
1. Harmony
Harmony is the Law of Unity with variety. This principle infers repetition of line,
form, shape and size.
2. Proportion
Pertains to the relationship in size between a part and the whole.
3. Balance
May be 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 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 is 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.
