Principles of Design
- are guidelines that help designers organize and
arrange the Elements of Design in a harmonious
and effective manner. These principles serve as
the foundation for creating visually appealing
and functional designs across various mediums,
including graphic design, architecture, interior
design, fashion design, and more.
space is
evenly
distributed
on the
screen.
1. Balance - The visual weight
of objects, texture, color and
2. Hierarchy: Hierarchy establishes the
order of importance within a design,
guiding the
viewer's
attention to
the most
critical
elements first.
3. Emphasis - Area in the design that may
appear different in size, texture, shape, or
color to attract the viewer’s attention.
Sometimes referred
to as dominance,
emphasis might
seem similar to
contrast, but it’s
not quite the same.
4. Contrast - refers to
placing two opposite
elements together.
This most often refers
to a contrast in
VALUES. Contrast can
be any opposing
elements- such as a
contrast in different
textures, colors,
shapes, etc.
5. Movement - means
guiding the user’s eye
to a predetermined
path in a composition.
When a viewer views
a design, they are
first attracted to the
focal points of the
design.
The Scream, 1893 Edvard Munch
It is the recurrence of a design
element, commonly utilized in
patterns or textures.
Repetitive elements can be used
in conjunction with other
principles to create a design that
leads a user’s eye to a focal
point, has continuity, or flow.
6. Repetition - These are the repeating visual
elements on an image or layout to create unity.
7. Rhythm -is the visual tempo of a
combination of elements when used
repeatedly, and with variation, it
gives the feeling of organized
movement.
• Rhythm can be Regular,
Flowing
or Progressive.
Regular
Flowing Progressive
8. Proximity
refers to the
grouping of related
elements together,
creating visual
relationships and
organizing information
in a clear and intuitive
manner.
1. To Create Connections -
Proximity can create
relationships between visual
elements in a composition,
create relevance, hierarchy,
create organization and
structure.
2. To Dispel Connections -
Proximity can also be used to
suggest no relationship
between elements, to break
organization and structure
1. To Create Connections -
Proximity can create
relationships between visual
elements in a composition,
create relevance, hierarchy,
create organization and
structure.
2. To Dispel Connections -
Proximity can also be used to
suggest no relationship
between elements, to break
organization and structure
9.Unity and variety. Unity refers to the
harmonious integration of all elements
in a design, creating a cohesive pleasing
composition.
This ensures no
single part is
more important
than the other.
