Design Elements and Principles. Part 1

Design Elements Line Shape Form Color Texture Space

Line Line defines the shape of things with length and direction; it can make a pattern, and cause the eye to move from place to place. Lines can be thick, thin, wavy, curly, jagged, or straight.

Shape Shapes- two dimensional objects (such as width and height) no thickness; like a circle or square, triangles, or irregular. -2D-

Form When a shape has three dimensions, it becomes a form. -3D-

Color Visible light are seen differently by the eye Primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colors are green, violet, orange. Tertiary colors are blue-green, yellow-orange, red-purple.

Texture Rough Coarse Smooth Fine

Space Allowing open area between and around objects that a shape or form occupies. Creating an appearance of depth or distance (objects look near or far).
