Review Week 12

How can you, as the designer, use principles of design to help compose a page?  You can use them to make sure all the correct basics are used, and they can make sure your page is the best that it can be. They can also make sure that your message is displayed the best that it can be communicated.

What are the principles of design (define each in your own words)? Balance which is how the objects are laid out on the page. Gradation which is the way light is perceived on an object making it darker or lighter. Repetition which is the amount of times an object or theme is presented. Contrast which is the amount of difference seen in a design. Harmony which is all the design working together to create an overall satisfaction to the audience. Dominance which is one object taking more attention over another. Unity which is making sure all the elements come together to help make the bigger picture of the whole design.
