Artistic Design in Engineering STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 Artistic Design in Engineering Balance: the product is visually equal (can be symmetrical or asymmetrical). Contrast: a change in the product’s color or a value to distinguish the elements of the design. Center of Interest (emphasis): the area that first attracts the user to the product.
