Alignment
Alignment is the arrangement of elements in a way that creates a visual connection between them. It helps to create a clean, organized appearance and can guide the viewer's eyes through the design.
Unity
Unity is achieved when all components of a design work together in harmony, giving the work a sense of completeness. It is often accomplished through the consistent use of style, color, and composition.
Balance
Balance refers to the distribution of visual weight in a design. It can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial, ensuring that the composition is stable and aesthetically pleasing.
Proportion
Proportion refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design. The proportion of elements can affect the balance, harmony, and visual impact of the final composition.
Rhythm
Rhythm in design refers to the repetition of visual elements in a regular pattern, creating a sense of movement or flow. It can direct viewers through a series of content or create dynamic energy in the design.
Hierarchy
Hierarchy is the arrangement of elements to signify importance, guiding the viewer's attention to areas in a priority-based sequence. Size, color, contrast, and placement can all influence hierarchy.
Contrast
Contrast is the difference in visual properties that makes an object distinguishable from other objects and the background. It can be achieved through variations in color, size, shape, and texture.
Repetition
Repetition involves repeating visual elements throughout a design to create a sense of unity and cohesion. It can enhance the design by tying separate parts into a whole and can also reinforce branding.
