Principles of Design

• Balance
• Proportion
• Emphasis
• Rhythm

3
Balance

• Equilibrium or steadiness among the parts of a
  design. It is the visual distribution of weight.
• Formal balance symmetrical
• Informal balance assymmetrical

4
Proportion

• The spacial, or size, relationship of all of the
  parts in a design to each other and to the whole.
  Also called scale.
• Body is 8 heads tall. 3/8 is waist to top of
  head. 5/8 is from waist down. Styles that
  complement that natural figure are more
  flattering and stay in style longer.

5
Emphasis

• Concentration of interest in a particular part or
  area of a design. One part is more important or
  more noticeable, it is the center of the outfit.
• It is best to have one area of interest.

6
Rhythm

• The pleasing arrangement of the design elements
  so the eye moves well over the apparel. It
  directs the flow of eye movement.
• Repetition Can be a repeat of lines, shapes,
  colors, or textures
• Gradation Also called progression. An increase
  or decrease in design elements.
• TransitionA fluid rhythm created when a curved
  line leads the eye over an angle.
• Opposition hen lines meet to form right angles.
• Radial Arrangement Line come from a central
  point.
