Lesson # 5
#1-Balance:
Balance helps a design to look stable and in place
#2-Proximity:
This helps to create a relationship between two or more objects in a design.Proximity also helps to determine the distance between objects.
#3-alignment:
Designers use alignment in order to make the text and pictures look nice, neat, and all lined up
#4-Repetition:
Sometimes designers use repetition with text, images , or graphics to help tie the design together or they just want to repeat something over and over for the fun of it.
#5-Contrast:
When you put a dark color next to a light color your creating contrast. When you put big bulky font next to a slimmer text your creating contrast.
#6-Space:
Using space is wonderful in graphic design , why? because it helps the viewer to take in the message without getting overwhelmed. In graphic design the golden rule of "Less is more" holds true!
