Elements/Principles of Design

-
Unity
-
Harmony
-
Emphasis
-
Pattern/Repetition

The elements of design are the parts that define the visual, the tools and components that a person uses to create a composition.
Principles of design, on the other hand, are all about how a person uses the elements to create a visual and convey a message.
These elements and principles of design represent a set of guidelines that have the purpose of helping you create aesthetically pleasing visuals.
The most significant difference between design principles and elements is that the latter can be labeled as rules, while elements are the components that are going to help you follow those rules for the best design outcome.
And even though rules can be broken, they have been created for a reason.
The 7 Elments of Design are:
-
Line
-

-
