  2. Fundamentals of Design • Lines- these act as a border between ideas, concepts or steps in a sequence. • Vertical Lines- can stop eye movement which will give volume to an area • Horizontal Lines – symbolize rest and relaxation • Diagonal Lines –dynamic and action-oriented

  3. Fundamentals of Design • Shapes- can suggest eye movement based on the direction of the lines. Shapes define figures and relate forms to each other. • Texture – surface characteristics of a material that are experienced through the sense of touch • Value- the degree of lightness and darkness in a design element

  4. Basic Silhouettes • A silhouette refers to the outer shape of a garment. • A-Line – the hem is larger than other measurements, therefore giving the outfit an “A” shape • Shift – the chest, waist, and hem all have the same measurements, giving the outfit a cylindrical shape. This is very good for form fitting garments.

  5. Basic Silhouettes • Tent- the garment is flared beginning under the arm hole, giving it a “tent” appearance • Empire Line –a panel divides the garment into two parts, just above the waist • Asymmetrical – this type of garment has no defined silhouette. It is achieved by varying hemlines, panels, and colors.

  6. Motifs • The type of fabric that you use can give your outfit an entirely different feel, especially if you utilize motifs, or patterns and prints. Some commonly used motifs are: • Ethnic • Floral • Geometrical • Abstract • Stylized • Plaids and Checks

  7. Colors • Color is one of the most important parts of designing. There are basic colors for the various seasons: • Summer –bright and energetic • Earthy- gives a rustic feel • Pastels- light and soft colors • Neutrals –classic and go with any season

  8. Now you are going to design your own outfit! • Using the design principles you have just learned, you will be designing an outfit using plastic bags • You will be using PowerPoint, Xara, or Microsoft Paint. Your teacher will let you know which one they prefer.
