Emphasis
Emphasis is used to draw attention to a particular element or area in a design, often creating a focal point through contrasts, placement, or use of a dominant element.
Proportion
Proportion is the size relationship between components within a work of art. It can influence how realistic or stylized a composition appears and contributes to balance and harmony.
Contrast
Contrast involves placing opposing elements next to each other to emphasize differences and create visual interest, such as light vs. dark colors, rough vs. smooth textures, or large vs. small shapes.
Repetition
Repetition refers to the use of the same or similar elements throughout a design to create consistency and unity. It can involve repeating colors, shapes, textures, or lines.
Balance
Balance refers to the distribution of visual weight in a work of art. It can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial, helping to create a sense of stability and harmony.
Movement
Movement directs the viewer's eye through a work of art, often achieved through the use of lines, edges, shapes, and colors to create a visual flow.
Unity
Unity is the principle by which all elements within an artwork cohesively work together to create a harmonious overall effect, suggesting completeness and complementarity.
