Design Elements
• Lines: A fundamental mark or stroke used in drawing in which the length is longer than the width.
• Colors: Guidance and emphasis of design to create drastic contrast.
• Shapes: An area that stands out from the space next to or around it due to a defined or implied boundary.
• Texture (visual arts): The way a surface feels or is perceived to feel by the observer.
• Space: The area the design will take place on.

Principles of Design
• Unity: design is considered unified. No individual part is viewed as more important than the whole design. A
good balance between unity and variety must be established to avoid a chaotic or a

basic shapes in visual design and a good design contains all three. The key to using PLP is making the shapes overlap and share elements.

• Balance: a state of equalized tension and equilibrium
• Hierarchy: elements that lead the reader through each element in order of its significance.
• Scale: the relative size of elements against each other can attract attention to a focal
point.• Dominance: contrasting size, positioning, color,
style, or shape. The focal point
