Study Skill - Task 3

Element of design:
Design element is equivalent to the design of the underlying symbol , trades design has different design elements.  Design elements are prepared for design means basic unit .
Design elements probably divided into six major categories.
Have Colour、Size、Line、Texture、Tone and Shape. If used properly design elements, will create perfect works. People's creative design elements can not be separated. Each work of art, must contain design elements.

                                                                   Figure 1: Colour
Colour is an element of design with endless variety.
Colour is light reflected off objects. Color has three main characteristics: hue or its name (red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is), and intensity (how bright or dull it is).

         

     
                                                                    Figure 2:Size
Size can give space, if can make closer objects appear larger and make distance objects appear smaller.
Size is the bigness or smallness of an area.
Size is simply the relationship of the area occupied by one shape to that of another..

                                         
                                                                    Figure 3: Line
Line can suggest rhythm.
Line is straight or curve soft or hard mixture.
Line can show movement.
The linear marks made with a pen or brush or the edge created when two shapes meet..

                            
                                                               Figure 4: Texture

Texture is concerned with touched and how something feels.
Texture is the part of the surface that can felt or seen.
Texture is the surface quality of a shape - rough, smooth, soft hard glossy etc..

                                               
                                                                 Figure 5:Tone
Tone can give emotion to an image.
Tone is property of colour.
Tone is light and dark.

                                 
                                                                  Figure 6:Shape

Shape can suggest movement.
Shape can be bordered by a line.
Shape can be defined by colour and tone.
A shape is a self contained defined area of geometric (squares and circles), or organic (free formed shapes or natural shapes). A positive shape automatically creates a negative shape..

Principle of design:

      
The Principles are concepts used to organize or arrange the structural elements of design. Again, the way in which these principles are applied affects the expressive content, or the message of the work.

                                        
                                      Figure 7:My understanding of the principles

 

and design

Balance: Balance between the two is the care of each other, rather than take away the effect of the other side.
Balance in design is similar to balance in physics. A large shape close to the center can be balanced by a small shape close to the edge. Balance provides stability and structure to a design. It’s the weight distributed in the design by the placement of your elements.

 

Repetition: Reuse an effect or image, sometimes a different feel, will make the picture more complete.
Repetition strengthens a design by tying together individual elements. It helps to create association and consistency. Repetition can create rhythm (a feeling of organized movement).

 

Proportion: Correct proportional relationship makes the screen looks more comfortable, and more standard.

 

Emphasis: Like this set of figures, mainly depicting an object, can make people understand what it is you want to reflect the focus.

 

Contrast: Give people a strong black and white contrast visual impact, such as China's Eight Diagrams.

Contrast is the juxtaposition of opposing elements (opposite colours on the colour wheel, or value light / dark, or direction - horizontal / vertical). Contrast allows us to emphasize or highlight key elements in your design.

Unity: Overall unity will make the picture more harmonious and complete, people looked uncomfortable.

 

Harmony: With a part of the whole string of good works, giving a feeling of harmony and comfort.
