Principles of Design Balance Proportion Emphasis Rhythm
Balance • Equilibrium or steadiness among the parts of a design. It is the visual distribution of weight. • Formal balance: symmetrical • Informal balance: assymmetrical
Proportion • The spacial, or size, relationship of all of the parts in a design to each other and to the whole. Also called “scale”. • Body is 8 heads tall. 3/8 is waist to top of head. 5/8 is from waist down. Styles that complement that natural figure are more flattering and stay in style longer.
Emphasis • Concentration of interest in a particular part or area of a design. One part is more important or more noticeable, it is the center of the outfit. • It is best to have one area of interest.
Rhythm • The pleasing arrangement of the design elements so the eye moves well over the apparel. It directs the flow of eye movement. • Repetition: Can be a repeat of lines, shapes, colors, or textures • Gradation: Also called progression. An increase or decrease in design elements. • Transition:A fluid rhythm created when a curved line leads the eye over an angle. • Opposition: hen lines meet to form right angles. • Radial Arrangement: Line come from a central point.
