Six Principles of Design.


BALANCE 

- Balance in design is similar to balance in physics. A large shape close to the centre 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. 

PROXIMITY

Proximity creates a relationship between elements. It provides a focal point. Proximity doesn’t mean that elements have to be placed together, it means they should be visually connected in some way.

ALIGNMENT 

Allows us to create order and organisation. Aligning elements allows them to create a visual connection with each other.

REPETITION 

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).

CONTRAST

Contrast is the theme 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. In highlight the opposites and makes certain areas more obvious or eye-catching.


SPACE 

Space in art refers to the distance or area between, around, above, below, or within elements. Both positive and negative space are important factors to be considered in every design.

Improving My Work Using the 6 Principles of Design

Improving My Work Using the 6 Principles of Design American Gods Book Cover I used the spacing principle from the 6 principles of design to try and make my book cover better. The original image seemed cluttered and full of images that didn't need to be there. It looked quite messy and didn't have much flair. The main part however that stood out and what I liked was the background. It's a big open area with a few characters in it. I thought adding more space, and de-cluttering the image would help. There are still characters like the original version, just more spacing to keep it less full and messy. Original Version: Updated Version: Website Template I was quite happy with my original website design. However the more I looked at it, I slowly realised certain parts of the website weren't in line and made the image look slightly wonky. So I used the Alignment principle to try and sort it out. I went back in and looked at the distance data, and made...

File Types

Image
GIF When exporting or saving a file as a GIF, the application compresses the file. If the file has transparent layers, it will save them. The file can also be an animation, and it can be uploaded. GIF's are typically found around the internet as short repeated clips. JPEG You normally want to export a file as a JPEG when you want just the image. A Jpeg compresses a file, to reduce its file size. It, however, doesn't retain any transparent layers, keeps any animation or remember any layers form the original file. You can, however, upload this file. It retains a decent amount of quality and allows you to have a lot of different colours. PNG PNG files compress a file, it also retains any transparent layers. You can also upload a PNG file. When it gets compressed, it only gets compressed slightly. So when uploading, it keeps most of the image quality. PSD PSD files are more of an editable file type rather than an image file type. A PSD file saves information fr...
