Review Week 12

How can you, as the designer, use principles of design to help compose a page?
Principles help add new aspects to a design. One principle that can help add to a design  would be balance because it helps draw the eye to important aspects of a design and allows contrast to take place without being to overpowering.

What are the principles of design (define each in your own words)?
Balance is applying symmetry to a design. Proportion relates to how items fit into a design based on their size. Rhythm emphasizes similarities in certain aspects of the design throughout. Emphasis puts a "spotlight" on certain parts of a design. Unity ties together the whole design.
