Elements & Principles of Design

Principles :

Balance : Asymmetrical & Symmetrical

Asymmetrical : example. -

Mostly around the right of the picture, the asymmetrical portion takes place. For example, the circle and yellow triangle are objects that look quite different compared to everything else in the picture.

Symmetrical : example. -

The symmetry in this picture is perfect. Right in the middle between the two birds.

Emphasis : example. -

Emphasis in this picture is the red spot. It sticks out of the picture

Rhythm : example. -

The rhythm is shown in the repetitive squares. 

Contrast : example. -

Contrast is shown between the red and white.

Elements :

Line : example. -

The lines in this picture, believe it or not, are all straight. However, they are all angled in such a way that the picture looks loose and wavy.

Shape : example. -

The shape in this picture mostly consists of colourful triangles and polygons all connected in one 3d shape.

Space : example. -

The picture on the left (with the goat in detail) ensues a positive feeling in the viewer because people like knowing what they see is true. On the right, we still know it's a goat, but it seems slightly negative. Maybe because of the fact that the goat has no detail, and seems bleak at best.

Colour : example. -

The colours are shown vividly in this picture with the graphics and backgrounds.

Texture : example. -

Texture is shown in this photo in the close up of the green leaves and grass. You're able to see the edges of them clearly.
