How can you, as the designer, use principles of design to help compose a page?

 

You can use principles of design to create a mood for your design. This will give your viewers a certain feeling when they look at your design. For example when you see certain types of lines your viewers get certain feelings.

What are the principles of design (define each in your own words)?
Repetition: When you repeat a part of the design throughout the entire piece.

Proportions: The size and scale of the different parts of a design compared to each other.

Balance: The distribution of light and heavy elements in a design.

Emphasis: Focusing on a certain part of a design.

Unity: The "wholeness" of the composition.
