Understanding Design Principles and Techniques

What is the first thing you notice in any design according to the lesson?

• The use of white space

• The element that is emphasized

• The movement of elements

• The repetition of patterns

Which of the following is NOT a technique used to create emphasis in design?

• Contrast

• Movement

• White space

• Repetition

What is the basic definition of contrast in design?

• The similarity between elements

• The difference between elements

• The repetition of elements

• The movement of elements

Which of the following elements can be used to build contrast in a design?

• Colour, texture, and lines

• White space and repetition

• Movement and emphasis

• Patterns and shapes

What does white space in a design help to achieve?

• Overcrowding of elements

• Emphasis and legibility

• Increased complexity

• Reduced contrast

In the context of design, what does movement refer to?

• The physical movement of elements

• The way our eyes scan the page

• The repetition of elements

• The use of white space

How does repetition contribute to a design?

• It creates chaos and inconsistency

• It adds emphasis and legibility

• It brings artistry and consistency

• It reduces the need for contrast

What is the effect of using contrasting colours in a design?

• It makes the design less interesting

• It adds emphasis and draws attention

• It reduces the need for white space

• It creates a sense of movement

Which of the following best describes the role of white space in a design?

• It fills up empty areas with elements

• It provides breathing space and prevents overcrowding

• It increases the complexity of the design

• It reduces the emphasis on important elements

What is the purpose of using repetition in design?

• To create a sense of chaos

• To build a pattern and emphasise the message

• To reduce the use of colour

• To make the design less predictable
