Elements and Principles of Design

“The Principles of Design are the artistic guidelines used to organise or arrange the structural elements of design”

“Elements of Design are the components or part which can be isolated and defined in any visual design or work of art. They structure and carry the work.”

Design elements and principles are a way in which designers communicate their artistic individuality, influence trends, and create history.
