The Seven Principles of Design

The Seven Principles of Design are guidelines to create visually effective and engaging work. They include balance (distributing elements evenly), contrast (differences catch attention), emphasis (highlighting key parts), movement (guiding the viewer’s eye), pattern (repeating elements for cohesion), proportion (size relationships), and unity (all parts working together harmoniously). Together, these principles help designers craft visuals that are attractive, clear, and communicate their message effectively. By applying these, designs become both functional and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring viewers understand and enjoy the visual experience.
