Introduction to Design Principles

The principles of design are essential rules that a designer must follow to create an effective and attractive composition.

Fundamental principles include: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement, and White Space.

A design does not have to strictly follow these rules to be considered “good.” Some exceptional designs may ignore one or more principles to create a unique and effective work.




1. Emphasis

Emphasis involves making a particular element stand out to capture the viewer's attention.




2. Balance and Alignment

Balance ensures a design is evenly distributed, while alignment arranges elements in a visually appealing manner.



3. Contrast

Contrast makes a design "pop" by creating space and differences between elements. It ensures readability and visual interest by making the background significantly different from the elements.




4. Repetiton

If you limit yourself to two strong typefaces or three strong colors, you'll soon find you'll have to repeat some things. That's ok! It's often said that repetition unifies and strengthens a design. If only one thing on your band poster is in blue italic sans-serif, it can read like an error. If three things are in blue italic sans- serif, you've created a motif and are back in control of your design.




5. Proportion

Proportion relates to the visual size and weight of elements in a composition and their relationship to each other. It often helps to approach the design in sections.




6. Movement and White space

Movement controls the flow of elements in a composition, guiding the viewer's eye from one element to the next and effectively communicating the intended information. It creates the narrative of the work.



White space, or negative space, is the empty area around the elements in a composition. It allows the design to breathe, often enhancing the overall quality of the composition.

REFLECTION

This week, we learned more operation knowledge of Photoshop. The selection body of the quick selection tool greatly improved the efficiency of mask selection. Moreover, after the practice in the past few weeks, I feel that I can finish the task faster
