Know the Principles Of Graphic Design

One of the fundamental requirements of learning a new skill is to learn the basics, and go for in-depth knowledge for deriving cutting-edge results. It is important for wannabe graphic designers to understand and learn the eight principles of design –

UNITY                  –  Where you are required to pull a design together, giving it a 
                                      single  piece feel

RHYTHM             –  That reflects depth, contrast and repetition

PROPORTION   –   Realistic/unrealistic, that depends on your intent

EMPHASIS         –    Creating a focal point for deriving results

ECONOMY          –    The user is provided only with what is needed to 
                                       understand the design

DIRECTION       –    Guiding the viewer through the design

CONTRAST        –    Using contrasting colors and textures

BALANCE            –    To invoke specific emotions
