The Elements and Principles of Design

Element: Line The line element is present in this picture. These lines are verticle lines that make the room look taller, almost all the cabinets have a verticle line set to them.

Q

Element: Shape There are many shapes present in this picture, such as the rectangles around the tv, and the sphere shaped peices that are on the wall. There are also many different shapes on the shelves that add on to this element.

Q

Element: Form This picture of the house has form because of how the house is actually shaped, it is a unique form for a house, and looks very different

Q

Element: Colour This picture represents colour, using the chair, the flowers, and the colourful painting at the back.

Q

Element: Texture This picture has texture shown in the back, the wall, it is made of tiles and probably feels a bit bumpy, but to the extent that it hurts or is annoying.

Q

Element: Value This photo has value because of the vibrant colours of the flowers, some are light and some are dark, and it brings out the shape of the flowers as well

Q

Element: Space Space is shown in this picture by the height of the ceiling. The high ceiling adds the effect of the room being spacious, even if it isn't. Also, the huge windows that outlook an open landscape adds to the effect of the room being larger and more spacious.

Q

Principle: Unity Every element is present and perfect in this picture. The colour and the contrast is just right, it's spacious, texture is present, it has vertical lines, the shape of the chandelier, and the lights looks cool, and everything looks just great.

Q

Principle: Balance This photo has balance because of how everything is put together, nothign seems to be out of context, and all the colours and contrast works well together.

Q

Principle: Emphasis There is Emphasis in this picture because of the brown wooden table. Everything is white and bright, and then there is that table, your eyes are easily drawn to it.

Q

Principle: Movement Movement is present in this picture because it seems as if the water is moving, there is a spring type thing that is shooting water out, and it seems as if the trees are also moving because of some wind, the wind effect can be further explained by showing the clouds.

Q

Principle: Rhythem This has a rhythem because it makes you want to look at what's inside each box, it flows your eyes around the whole picture.

Q

Principle: Pattern The ceiling and the far wall have a pattern applied to them. They have a repitition that occurs in them.

Q

Principle: Contrast The dark wood adds contrast to the picture, along with the wooden floor. It's just perfect because the lightness and darkness are balanced and one doesn't overtake the other
