EmphasisThe feature in a design that attracts ones eye the focal point Emphasis can be achieved through size, placement, shape, color, and/or use of lines
Proportion & ScaleComparative relationships between elements in a design with respect to size
3:5 ratio is known as the Golden Mean
ContrastNoticeably different
Can be created withColorProportion and scaleShapeTextureEtc.
UnityUnity is achieved by the consistent use of lines, color, material, and/or texture within a design.
