Principles on (symmetry, balance, unity) (harmony, pattern, rhythm) (size, scale, dimension, proportion) By: Irene, Melissa, Shervon
Symmetry, Balance, Unity
Symmetry
Is where you can fold an image at its axis of symmetry and have both halves match exactly. (Mirror Image)
Properties of a Reflective Symmetry
An object that is symmetrical must have 1. At least 1 line of symmetry 2. The same perpendicular length between points from the Axis of symmetry
Symmetrical AsymmetricalSymmetry in Shapes
Shapes can have more than 1 line of symmetry.
2 lines of Symmetry 5 lines of Symmetry ∞ lines of SymmetryProperties of a Rotational Symmetry
It is when at any point of time the object appears exactly like it did before the rotation.
90° 180° 120°The number of turns it can make is called the ORDER of Symmetry
Point Symmetry
The central point that splits the object or shape into 2 parts.
same on each side and has the same distance from the central point.

Point Symmetry VS. Reflective Symmetry
The main difference is in the connection. Reflective Symmetry Point Symmetry

distribution of perceived visual weights that offset one another.
Balance... or not to balance in Art?
1. Balanced
2 Types of Balance
1. Symmetrical Balance
components are arranged to seem balanced
2 Types of Balance
1. Symmetrical Balance
Symmetrical Balance
Usually Associated with formality, order, rationality and permanence.

Usually Associated with variety, visual interest and liveness. It allows more freedom and creativity

Unity
Unity and Variety
Unity in an artwork creates a sense of harmony and wholeness, by using similar elements within the composition and placing them in a way that brings them all together. Variety adds interest by using contrasting elements within the composition.
Unity
Can be achieved through... Similar Shapes Common Pattern Use of Space Common Background 1. Similarity
Unity
Can be achieved through... 2. Colour Symbolism Colors that work together with the message
Unity
Can be achieved through... 3. Shapes and Lines Organic vs. Geometric 4. Size One element is not overwhelming another to the point it’s lost

7. Continuation Can be achieved through... Using a subtle method of unifying a work involves the continuation of line, edge or direction from one area to another.

Harmony
Harmony in visual design means all parts of the visual image relate to and complement each other.
Harmony
Pulls the pieces of a visual image together to create a pleasing arrangement of the elements or parts of the whole
Harmony
1. Balance 2. Texture 3. Space 4. Variety of forms 5. Color 6. Movement / Rhythm Can be achieved through...
Harmony
1. Balance Involves arranging both positive and elements and negative space to create a seamless whole composition Can be achieved through...
Harmony
2. Texture Can be achieved through...
St Marks Cathedral Mosaic, VeniceHarmony
Can be achieved through... 3. Space Space can be used to both separate and connect elements in design
Harmony
Can be achieved through... 4. Variety of forms Form emphasizes visual units, connecting parts and creating an area of attention.
Harmony
Can be achieved through... 5. Colour
Harmony
Can be achieved through... 6. Movement / Rhythm The flow depicted in a visual which helps direct eye movement
Pattern
Pattern is an arrangement of design elements such as lines, shapes and
Symbolic Uses of Pattern
1. People 2. Beliefs 3. Natural World 4. History 5. Tradition

Rhythm
Rhythm is the repetition or alternation of elements, often with defined intervals between them.
Rhythm
Pattern Rhythm - same elements are used but with variations
3 Types of Rhythm
1. Regular Rhythm A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements, and often the elements themselves are similar in size or length
3 Types of Rhythm
A progressive rhythm shows a sequence of forms through a progression of steps
3 Types of Rhythm
A flowing rhythm gives a sense of movement, and is often more

Size
The physical dimension of an object
Scale
the relative size of different objects or of an object to a common standard
Scale can create visual hierarchy
Scaling Fallacy
Scale on surface design
Dimension
a measurable extent of a particular kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height.
Proportion
relationship between elements that are part of a whole, with respect to a comparative magnitude
Proportion can evoke emotions
