    This document discusses the key elements and principles of graphic design, including lines, shapes, forms, negative space, color, texture, balance, emphasis, paths, pattern, repetition, proportion, variety, and unity. Lines can be straight, rough, jagged, smooth or wavy. Shapes have fixed boundaries while forms have volume. Negative space helps set boundaries and balance a design. Color brings life through hue, intensity and value. Texture adds detail. Balance distributes visual weight. Emphasis dominates parts of a design. Paths guide the eye. Patterns and repetition occur throughout. Proportion relates size to the human body. Variety grabs attention. Unity creates a cohesive whole.
