Principles and Elements
• Elements are “parts” of the design• Principles are the “rules” for using the parts– We will be learning how to identify the elements
and then apply the rules (principles) to create GOOD design
• Overall Goal => Harmony

What is it?
• 3 dimensional area with which the designer works
• Consider size of space and arrangement within the space
![Page 6: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do spaces make you feel?
Design Feeling
Open
Empty
High Ceilings or too little furniture
Too much furniture
Well designed small spaces
![Page 7: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
If space is limited
• Objects may need to be smaller and fewer in number• To make appear larger – leave
open space, use mirrors, choose furniture that has dual purpose
![Page 8: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
If there is too much space
• Make space appear smaller by:• Divide space –How?
• Dividers, rugs furnishings• Change shape
![Page 9: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Positive and Negative Space
• Negative Space– Empty space– EXAMPLE: the area under the desk
• Positive Space– Filled space– EXAMPLE: the desk
• All rooms should have a balance of both positive and negative space.

LineThe most basic element of design
![Page 12: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Line

Directions
Horizontal – follows horizon
Diagonal – angled
Vertical – up and down
Curved

Uneasy feeling from lines
Sharp angled and competing lines

Structural vs. Decorative
◦Structural The design is an integral part of the structure itself.
The structure and design cannot be separated.
◦Decorative Involves the application of color, line, texture, or pattern to an object.

Form and ShapeIs this chair shape or form?
![Page 22: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Shape
Shape is 2 dimensional: length and width (picture of chair)
The outline of an objectBasic shapes---circles, square, triangles, etc.
Everything has a shape—telephones, cows, cars, etc.
![Page 23: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Form
Form is 3 dimensional: length, width, and height (actual chair)
Basic forms--cones, cylinders, spheres, cubes, etc.

Use in designForm has to do with the actual
weight or the (visual) apparent weight
Large heavy objects signify stability but a group of smaller items can have same effect
Lighter weight appears whimsical, airy
Color and texture change visual weight
![Page 26: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ask yourself
Does the form of the object or space reflect its intended use and fulfill its intended function?
Does it blend with other forms in the room?
![Page 27: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Team ShapePut your name on your paper.Each team member choose a different color
colored pencil.Each team member choose a shape (circle,

TextureWhat are some words that describe texture?
![Page 29: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Coloring Activity• You need a coloring sheet and a crayon• Take the coloring page and your crayon to
different surfaces around the room• Rub your crayon over a section of the
picture and then choose a new surface and fill in a new part of the picture
• Use at least 10 different surfaces and label each surface
![Page 30: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Texture adds variety and interest• Light affects the appearance of
texture• Shiny textures reflect more light
and appear brighter (stainless steel refrigerator)
• Rough textures absorb light thus they appear darker
![Page 31: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Categories of Texture
•Visual – the appearance of a surface
•Tactile – the feel of a surface
![Page 32: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Formal/Informal• Shiny, smooth textures are
characteristic of formal interiors. • Can you picture a baby grand
piano with a rough texture?• Rough, heavily textured walls
are generally informal.
![Page 33: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Size• Heavily textured walls will
make a room appear smaller.• Walls with little to no texture
will make a room appear larger.
![Page 34: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Textures affect us• Everything we touch evokes a
physical response (hard, soft, rough smooth, etc…)
• affects sound qualities• affects care and upkeep of an
object• source of beauty and character

PATTERN
![Page 36: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
PATTERN Arrangement of motifs to create a unified design
Simplest way to add interest to a surface
Too much pattern can make a room busy and uncomfortable
Without pattern, room may be bare or lacking in character
![Page 37: Elements of design](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/5564ecead8b42ab34e8b4c22/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
PATTERN COMBINATION If successful – feel comfortable
If incompatible – uneasy feeling
To achieve correctness in combining patterns:Evaluate placement of emphasis
Know character of patternIdentify color scheme of pattern
Use a variety of sizes of patterns
