Principles of Design 

These are how the building blocks above are arranged.

Rhythm - a visual tempo that guides the eye across an artwork, usually created using other principles such as repetition of elements above



Contrast - the arrangement of opposites, such as light and dark, big and small, smooth and rough



Balance - the relative weight of the composition, can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or even radial



Repetition (or Variety) - used to create energy in a piece, you might repeat a shape but change up the colours. Too much variety or too much repetition can make it super boring



Emphasis - some way of making certain parts or objects in a piece stand out, can be done with colour, size, tone etc to draw the eye to that part



Movement - both the depiction of actual actions and how your eye is drawn across a piece



Unity (or Harmony) - everything in the piece working together to give a pleasing effect



Scale/Proportion (left this out so there'd be 7 on each list) - the relative sizes of objects in the work, or the work itself
