FIBERS A look at fashion materials • Fiber is an elongated tapering thick-walled plant cell that imparts elasticity, flexibility, and tensile strength. • A Fiber can be spun into filaments, string, or rope, used as a component of composite materials, or matted into sheets to make products such as paper or felt.

Design Elements and Principles Put it together and what do you get… • The principles of design describe how the elements of design come together to create a design. • The design elements and principles combine to create one piece of art. • The best designers sometimes disregard the principles of design.
Design Elements Creating Visual Imagery… ___________________________________ • Lines: A fundamental mark or stroke used in drawing in which the length is longer than the width. • Colors: Guidance and emphasis of design to create drastic contrast. • Shapes: An area that stands out from the space next to or around it due to a defined or implied boundary. • Texture (visual arts): The way a surface feels or is perceived to feelby the observer. • Space: The area the design will take place on.
Principles of Design The fundamental element behind Fashion… ___________________________________ Unity: design is considered unified. No individual part is viewed as more important than the whole design. A good balance between unity and variety must be established to avoid a chaotic or a lifeless design. Point Line and Plane: PLP are the three most basic shapes in visual design and a good design contains all three. The key to using PLP is making the shapes overlap and share elements.
____________________________ Principle of DesignCont’d • Balance: a state of equalized tension and equilibrium • Hierarchy: elements that lead the reader through each element in order of its significance. • Scale: the relative size of elements against each other can attract attention to a focal point. • Dominance: contrasting size, positioning, color, style, or shape. The focal point
Principles of Design Cont’d ____________________________ • Similarity and Contrast: Planning a consistent and similar design to achieve dramatic contrasts, scrupulous similarity, and active white space • Movement and Pattern Implying that an object is moving in a direction through space of the page. --Movement seems more dynamic when depth is implied--
