Balance • Equilibrium • Elements are placed in the design in a way so they have equal weight. • There are two kinds – Symmetrical or formal balance which is objects centered – Asymmetrical or informal balance which is more objects on one side or off centered.

Balance

Contrast • The opposite or varied elements that make an art work interesting. • Such as colour, thick or thin lines, large or small shapes, rough or smooth texture, etc.

Contrast

Movement • The path our eyes follow in a design. • Usually it brings the viewer in, around, and through the piece.

Movement

Emphasis • Drawing attention to the main object. • All elements; like line, color, and shapes, direct your eye to the main point.
