This document defines and provides explanations for 14 key graphic design principles: contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity, scale, tension, gradation, radiation, unity, anomaly, closure, isolation, concentration, and continuance. Each term is defined in 1-2 sentences explaining the core concept or technique.

3. What is the difference in values,
colors, textures, shapes, and
other elements?

4. Contrast

5. Which design element uses the same
or similar forms and objects more
than once in a composition to help
unify and strengthen the design?

6. Repetition

7. Which design element stresses the
unification of design elements on
the page by creating an overall
structure in the design?

8. Alignment

9. Which design element involves
making more than one element
or object visually connected?

10. Proximity

11. How do you achieve the size and
spatial relationship in a design?

12. Scale

13. Which design element involves
two or more objects acting on
one another?

14. Tension

15. What is the gradual blend of one
thing to another, either through
shape, color, or texture?

16. Gradation

17. What is the circular distribution of
elements that form a cohesive whole?

18. Radiation

19. What is the relationship among
elements of a visual that helps all
the elements function together?

20. Unity

21. What is the deviation from the
common type, rule, arrangement,
or form?

22. Anomaly

23. What is it called when an object
is incomplete or a space is not
completely enclosed?

24. Closure

25. What separates a particular
element from other similar,
grouped elements?

26. Isolation

27. What is the design technique
that distributes elements on a
page that increases in density in
a particular area?

28. Concentration

29. What is the movement or direction
in design, and implies where the
viewer should look?

30. Continuance
