I'm giving an introductory workshop, and from my research to refresh my memory there really isn't a definitive list (can anyone direct me to who originally decided on these things?)
So, for curiousity's sake, how do you define the principles and elements of design?
Elements
- Line
- Shape/ Form
- Colour/ Value
- Space
(I left out texture as it can be distilled into shape/form)
Principles (this is where there's the least consensus - potentially interchangeable or very similar principles in the brackets)
- Balance
- Emphasis (/Dominance? Contrast?)
- Movement
- Rhythm (/pattern? repetition?)
- Scale/ Porportion
- Unity (/harmony?)
