  2. Elements of Design • Elements are the building blocks of design. • Color: Most exciting element of design • Shape: Overall outline of a garment, it is the form or silhouette. • Line: Distinct, elongated mark as if drawn by a pencil or pen. • Texture: The surface quality of goods.

  3. Elements of Design • SHAPE: • Form or silhouette of a garment • Shape or outline seen from a distance • Can reveal or hide a natural body contour • Try to flatter good features and hide less attractive features • Full, wide shapes make you look bigger • Trim, compact silhouettes make you look smaller • Straight, tubular shapes make you look taller • Form fitting clothes reveal any unattractive contours, should only been worn by figures that are near-perfect

  4. Elements of Design • LINE: • Have direction, width, length • Eyes follow lines • Lines suggest movement, leading eyes up, down, side-to-side, around • Outline outer and inner spaces of garments • Categories of lines: • Type • Direction • Application

  5. Elements of Design • Line Types: • Straight: bold, severe • Show dignity, power, formality, steadiness, stability • Curved: rounded, circular • Less conservative, formal and powerful • Give soft, youthful, gentle, charming, graceful feeling • Make things look larger than they are • Circles are closed lines and stop the eye entirely • Flattened curves are most flattering to the human shape • Jagged: change direction abruptly (ex: zigzags) • Create a jumpy, confused feeling • Use sparingly, they are very noticeable • Wear them if you are self-confident

  6. LINE DIRECTION: Vertical: Goes up and down • Feeling of dignity, strength, poise, sophistication • Leads eye up and down, makes wearer look taller and thinner

  7. LINE DIRECTION: Diagonal: slanted • Degree of slant determines the visual effect • Draws attention to where they are used

  8. LINE DIRECTION: Horizontal: side to side • Feeling of restfulness and gentleness • Leads eye across the body, makes wearer seem shorter and wider • Use where you want to look wider

  9. Elements of Design • TEXTURE: • Surface quality of garments (how it looks and feels) • Roughness, smoothness, dullness, glossiness, stiffness, softness • Bulky fabrics • Add visual size (make you look bigger) • Can disguise a flaw • Can overpower a small person • Smooth, flat textures • Make you look smaller • Shiny textures • Make you look bigger, as they reflect light • Dull Textures • Make you look smaller, as the absorb light
