Be a pro…
Using the proper terminology can instill confidence in your client. Just like using the word “monofilament” instead of “fishing line, “…you just sound better! And, your customer may not know exactly why your work looks so beautiful, but they will recognize well-designed décor when you show it to them. Let’s learn how to do your work; it’s best with a quick review of “the rules” that govern the design of all kinds.
- Unity is the relation of elements in a design to create a look of “oneness.
- Proportion and Scale are referring to the design elements and how they relate to each other.
- Focal Point is the center of interest. Typically the largest or darkest element placed low in the design.
- The accent is secondary to the focal Point but adds emphasis.
- Balance of elements physically and visually within the design.
- The texture is the surface quality of a shape – rough, smooth, soft, hard glossy, etc. Make your design more enjoyable with a pleasing mix of coordinating elements.
- Harmony The elements must complement each other.
- Rhythm leads to an optical path through the design.
- Space is needed to allow elements to stand apart to be seen, yet give the impression of harmony.
