  2. Composition • Proportion (Scale) • Balance • Movement • Rhythm • Contrast • Emphasis • Pattern • Harmony/Unity

  3. Proportion • Proportion is the relationship between objects, or parts, of a whole. Elements seem to be an appropriate size for the space they fill.

  4. Proportion • The ratio of one part to the whole. • Things just look right.

  5. Formal Balance • One side is a mirror image of the other side

  6. Informal Balance • Objects on each side of the central dividing line are different. • More exciting and dramatic

  7. Movement • The use of lines, color and repetition to create the illusion of motion. • Drawing the eye around the composition.

  8. Movement • The use of lines, color and repetition to create the illusion of motion. • Drawing the eye around the composition.

  9. Movement • The use of lines, color and repetition to create the illusion of motion. • Drawing the eye around the composition.

  10. Rhythm- Repetition When a design element is repeated

  11. Small to Large Thin to Thick Light to Dark Rhythm-Gradation

  12. Rhythm- Radiation Lines flow out from a single point.

  13. Contrast • Contrast is using opposite or sharply different color, shape etc. to provide variety which creates interest.

  24. Harmony/Unity & Variety • Harmony is achieved when Unity and Variety are effectively combined.

  25. Unity • The design is seen as “whole”. • Unity is blending elements in a pleasing way, uncomplicated and soothing. • Sometimes can seem monotonous.

  26. Variety • The subtle differences we see that create the variety of life for us to enjoy. • Artists combine elements in different ways to create a unified composition. • Variety captures our attention and creates interest.

  27. Harmony/Unity & Variety • What make’s it have Harmony?

  28. Harmony • Is it harmony? • What do you think?

  29. Conclusion As you can see the Principles of Design overlap some but through practice and exposure you will see these principles come to life all around you.
