Visual Design Principles

Explain the concept of 'Contrast' in visual design. Think about a bright yellow banana on a white plate. It's easy to see, right? That's contrast! It's when things look different, so they stand out. Look for things that are opposite: light and dark colours, big and small shapes, or thick and thin lines.

• Contrast is when things look different, so they stand out.

• Contrast is when things look the same, so they blend in.

• Contrast is only about using bright colors.

• Contrast is not important in visual design.

Describe the principle of 'Hierarchy' in visual design. Imagine your favourite toy on a shelf full of toys. You see it first, right? That's hierarchy! It's when some things are more important, and made to stand out more in a design. Look for the biggest words, the brightest colours, or the things placed in the middle.

• Hierarchy is when some things are more important, so they're bigger or brighter.

• Hierarchy is when all elements are the same size and color.

• Hierarchy is when the least important things are highlighted.

Think about a soccer team. They all wear the same uniform, but they have different numbers. That's unity and variety working together! Unity when things belong together but variety to make a difference.
What does 'Unity' mean in visual design?

• A principle that emphasises harmony in a design

• A technique for creating 3D effects

• A method for organising text

• A style of modern art

Explain the concept of 'Movement' in visual design. Imagine a roller coaster. It goes up, down, and all around! That's movement! It's when your eyes follow lines and shapes in a picture. Look for arrows, curvy lines, or things that look like they're moving.

• Movement in visual design is when your eyes follow lines and shapes in a picture, like a roller coaster going up, down, and all around.

• Movement in visual design is the use of colors to create a mood.

• Movement in visual design is the arrangement of elements to create balance.

• Movement in visual design is the use of textures to add depth.

Describe the principle of 'Balance' in visual design. Think about a seesaw. It needs to be balanced for you to have fun, right? That's balance! It's when things are spread out evenly in a picture. Look for things that are the same on both sides, like colours or shapes.

• Balance is when things are spread out evenly in a picture, like colours or shapes on both sides.

• Balance is when things are randomly placed in a picture without any symmetry.

• Balance is when only one side of a picture has all the elements, leaving the other side empty.

• Balance is when colors and shapes are not considered in the design.

What is meant by 'Pattern' in visual design? Think about the stripes on a zebra. They repeat over and over. That's a pattern! It's when you see the same thing many times. Look for shapes, colours, or lines that repeat in a picture.

• A pattern is a single occurrence of a shape, colour, or line.

• A pattern is a random arrangement of shapes, colours, or lines.

• A pattern is a repeated arrangement of shapes, colours, or lines.

• A pattern is a unique design that does not repeat.

Explain the concept of 'White Space' in visual design. Imagine a playground with lots of space to run around. That's white space! It's the empty space around things in a picture. Look for areas where there are no pictures or words.

• White space is the empty space around things in a picture.

• White space is the colorful area in a design.

• White space is the text in a document.

• White space is the main subject of a picture.

Describe 'Proportion/Scale' in visual design. Think about a giant elephant next to a tiny mouse. They're very different sizes! That's proportion and scale! It's how big or small things are compared to each other. Look for things that are much bigger or smaller than other things.

• Proportion and scale refer to the size relationship between different elements in a design.

• Proportion and scale are unrelated to visual design.

• Proportion and scale only apply to text elements in a design.

• Proportion and scale are only about colour contrast.

What is the role of 'Emphasis' in visual design? Imagine a spotlight on a stage. It highlights the main actor. That's emphasis! It's when one part of a design stands out more than the others. Look for the boldest or brightest part of a picture.

• Emphasis is when one part of a design stands out more than the others.

• Emphasis is the repetition of elements in a design.

• Emphasis is when all parts of a design are equally important.

• Emphasis is the use of only black and white colors in a design.

How does 'Rhythm' function in visual design? Think about a song with a steady beat. That's rhythm! It's when elements in a design are repeated in a way that creates a sense of movement. Look for repeating patterns or sequences.

• Rhythm is the repetition of elements in a design to create a sense of movement.

• Rhythm is the use of random elements without any order.

• Rhythm is the balance of elements on both sides of a design.

• Rhythm is the use of bright colors to attract attention.
