5 + 1 Big Principles of Design
Balance - Ancient Greek ideal, has formal(mirror images, very stable, static symmetry around a central point) and informal(feels balanced, movement) symmetry
Proportion - Relative Size, one object compared to another, a ratio of 1.7 closer to nature, Ancient Greek Philosophy, Golden Mean - magic number of average, Canons of Proportions
Emphasis and Focal Point - The attention getter, usual visual elements for manipulation; size, color, and placement
Rhythm - Repetition
Unity with Variety - Unity is oneness or wholeness, too much unity = boring, too much variety = jumbled mess, just right = interesting and understandable
+1 Economy - teachers personal favorite, there is no definitive list of design principles
