Week 2 OOD Review : The Element of Design

 

The element of design is…,
Basic factors that make up the visual form, whether it be 2D shape or 3 D Shape

• Line 

  A series of points/dots that connected!
  Types of lines: outlines, sketch, calligraphic, gesture, etc.
  Examples: vertical lines, diagonal lines, zigzag lines, curve lines, etc.

 

• Shape

  A self-contained defined are of geometric or organic form. It is 2D and created by lines. The shape is an outline.Shapes types: geometric shapes, organic shapes, static shapes, dynamic shapes.

 

• Form

  A 3D  form of shapes. Has a volume
  Example: cube, ball, prism, etc.

 

• Space

  In 3D things, space take into consideration the concepts of bulk and weight
  Space in 2d drawings refers to the arrangement of the object in the picture plane (surface of our drawing). Because 2D drawings only have Height and Weight so they do not have a depth, they create a depth by using perspective.
  Space can create dimension

  Space catagoriest : positive >< negative, composition, focal points, picture plane,
  Perspective   : non linear, position, overlaping, size variation, colors.

 

• Values

  Not a color. Black and White and all the grays in between.  One of the function adds more drama & impact the composition.
  White to make it a tint
  Black to make it a shade

 

• Texture

  tackle aspect of form and it adds interest by embellishing the surface and there by giving character to finished form.
  Uses in design to catch, interrupt, & reflect.
  Texture character: In 3 D in real texture and In 2D simulated texture

 

• Color

  A hue, coma, and value that comes from the light and represent emotion and allow the object to stand out from a background.
  Hue is the name
  Saturation is the intensity
  Temperature is the cool or warm color
  Color categories: Primary color ( R Y B ) and intermediate colors.
