Now is your opportunity to take mouse and keyboard in hand and create the new XOOPS look.
Design elements and principles
Design elements and principles are the basic visual toolbox of design tactics in every visual design discipline. The elements form the basic vocabulary of visual design, while the principles constitute the broader structural aspects of the composition. They consist of line, texture, shape, space, and form.
Most compositions are created by using combinations of elements and principles.
Elements of design
The elements of design may vary by individual and category but most often concern the artist or practitioner when employing shape, space, line, texture, direction, value and color. They are the most basic visual components of any composition. When used in varying manners and degrees, the elements create the principles of design. Artists and designers incorporate and manipulate these elements, as well as principles, to create a work of art that is compositionally sound and pleasing to the viewer and artist alike.
Principles of designs
There are several principles of design that are as variable as are attitudes regarding modern design. They differ both between the schools of thought that influence design and between individual practicing designers. Most include scale, proportion, balance (symmetry), rhythm (pattern and movement), emphasis (focal point), variety, contrast, and unity.
