The document discusses five principles of design: rhythm, proportion, balance, unity/harmony, and emphasis. Rhythm creates movement through repetition of elements like color or shape. Proportion refers to the relationship between parts of a design. Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial. Unity/harmony is created when elements look cohesive. Emphasis draws attention through contrast or unusual elements.

3. Rhythm- It allows the eye to move from one part of a
design to another part smoothly.
Rhythm can be created by:
• Repeating a colour, shape, texture, line, or space when designing.
• Varying the size of objects (small to large).
• Using a progression of colours from tints to shades (light blue to dark blue).
• Shifting from one hue to a neighbouring hue (yellow to yellow-orange to orange to red-
orange to red).

5. Proportion
Proportion refers to the relationship between one part of a design and
another part or to the whole design. It is a comparison of sizes, shapes,
and quantities. For example, the relationship between the vertical and
horizontal measurements of a wall hanging may be pleasing because the
unequal lengths produce an interesting contrast.

10. Unity/Harmony
When things look right together, you have created unity or harmony.
Lines and shapes that repeat each other show unity (curved lines
with curved shapes).
Colors that have a common hue are harmonious.
Textures that have a similar feel add to unity.
But too much uniformity sometimes can be boring. At the same
time, too much variety destroys unity.
Use similar design elements to unify your decorating scheme. For
instance, painting each room a different color can be jarring.
However, if you unify the spaces by using a limited palette of
complementary colors, you will create visual flow and harmony.

12. Emphasis/Focal
Point/Dominance
Every design needs an accent—a point of interest. Emphasis is
the quality that draws your attention to a certain part of a
design first. There are several ways to create emphasis:
• Use a contrasting color.
• Use a different or unusual line.
• Make a shape very large or very small.
• Use a different shape.
Use plain background space.
