This document discusses principles of design that can be used when creating art or clothing designs. It defines five key principles: 1. Harmony is achieved when all design elements contribute equally to produce a unified effect. 2. Proportion means all parts of a design are appropriately sized in relation to each other. 3. Balance exists when visual weight is evenly distributed across a composition. 4. Rhythm refers to how the eye smoothly connects details in a design. 5. Emphasis draws attention to a single important feature and makes other elements secondary. The document provides examples to illustrate how artists can apply these principles, such as through repetition, opposition, transition, and radiation of design elements

1. Don’t stop
when you’re tired.
Stop when you’re
DONE.

3. MECHANICS:
 The class will be divided into 3 groups,
each group consist of 10 members.
 Each group will form one circle and will
answer the jumbled word consecutively.
 Each member will be given a plate number
which will serve as the number that they will
answer
 The group member who raised the flaglet first will be the one
to answer, if the answer is wrong other group will be given a
chance to answer

7. HARMONY
Attained when there is
unity among the
elements of design
that contribute
equally to produce an
effect on a garment.

8. 8
PROPORTION
All parts of the
garment are related in
size, length and width.

9. BALANCE
Has equal amount of
weight from the
center of interest to all
different direction.

10. RADICALINFORMALFORMAL

11. FORMAL
A dress with balance
has the same design
on both side of the
center.

12. INFORMAL
The sides of the dress
have different designs
from the center.

13. The sides of the dress
have different designs
from the center.
RADICAL

RHYTHM
This is achieved when
the eye moves
smoothly and is able
to connect all details
of interest from all
points of the design.

15. 15
1. Opposition
There are points of
intersection in lines
from opposing
direction.

16. 16
2. Repetition
It is the repetition of
lines, color and
shapes.

17. 17
3. Transition
A change of design
from pleats on waist
line to fitted skirt at
the hemline.

18. 18
4. Radiation
The shirring of the
neckline radiate down
to the hemline of the
garment.

19. 19
5. Gradation
Graduated size of
design or pockets:
Small, Medium and
Large.

20. 20
EMPHASIS
Attracts the eye to one
feature making all
others secondary.
