PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
The designer works with the 4 tools or elements
of design line, form, color, and texture. But
now they must follow the RULES about using
those tools. The rules are called the principles
of design.
There are 5 principles of design balance

Rhythm
  • Rhythm is defined as continuous, recurrent, or
    organized movement.
  • It allows for underlying unity and variety in a
    design.
  • We can create rhythm in 5 different ways

4
Rhythm by Repetition
Can be achieved through Repeated lines, shapes
and forms, colors, textures,
or patterns.
5
Rhythm by Gradation
Completed by increasing or decreasing one or more
qualities, such as height or width or overall
size.
6
Rhythm by Transition
Often subtle. Leads the eye in a gentle,
continuous, uninterrupted visual flow from one
area to another or object to another. Arches are
much smoother, less abrupt, than doorways with
square corners. Curved lines are a sign of
transition.
7
Rhythm by Opposition
The direct placement of lines, forms, or colors
to create opposition by an abrupt
change. Ornate objects placed in simple
backgrounds Old versus new Complementary colors
next to each other Intersecting lines Square
corners
8
Rhythm by Radiation
All parts of a composition are balanced and
repeated around a central axis. Petals of a
daisy Chairs around a table Circular objects such
as plates, bowls, light fixtures, textile
patterns, hanging plants and chandeliers Not used
as frequently as other types.

Rhythm
  • The key to rhythm is continuity.
  • The organized movement of
    recurring or developing patterns into a
    connected whole.
  • Its all about the movement
    of your eyes on an object or
    around a room!

Rhythm Project Assignment...
  • Using magazines or catalogs, find pictures of
    objects or other components of interior design to
    illustrate the 5 different types of rhythm.
  • Select sheets of paper, white or colored, for
    this assignment. Also select paper in a color
    appropriate for picture mats. The pages should
    all be the same color.
  • For each page, you may use a computer to add a
    title, your name, and a description of the type
    of rhythm and the source of rhythm in each
    picture (ex transition on sofa).
  • The title should include the word rhythm.
  • Mat and mount the pictures on the paper. You may
    have more than one picture on a sheet of paper if
    desired, but no more than 3 pictures per sheet.

Types of RHYTHM in Design

by Your Name
Transition can be found in components of interior
design that have curved lines, such as in this
sofa.
