  • Use Principles of Design to guide your viewer through the image

Principles of Design

  • Unity- No individual part should be more important than the whole design.
  • Balance
  • Hierarchy – Lead the reader through each element in order of significance.
  • Scale/Proportion – Use to attract attention
  • Dominance/Emphasis -Contrasting size, position, color, style, or shape; Focal point should dominate design without sacrificing unity
  • Similarity and Contrast
