QUARTER

I - Introductory Concept
This activity sheet focuses on the discussion, specification of the design, select appropriate
design based on client’s feature and principles of design and color harmony. These factors
work together to correct, enhance appearance, and create something that is aesthetically
pleasing and optimizes human features.
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

The principles of designs are concepts used to organize or arrange the structural
elements of design. These the ways in which these principles are applied the affects the
expressive content, or the message of the work.
Color

Color is light, and light contains within itself all the sun’s rays, and when it is broken
into wavelengths of light, a sensation is produced, upon the retina of the eye which is called
color. The eye responds to color the same as the ear responds to music. One’s reaction to
color are both physiological and psychological. The varying properties of color can, like
skillful use of line and proportion, make a large object appear smaller, or a small object seem
larger. Some colors bring an object nearer, and others make it seem farther away. Colors
affect the emotions that is why sometimes you do not realize what has made you cheerful,
subdued or melancholy. Color is a powerful element in our life. It has vibration, light and
energy which affects us.

Use of Color in Clothes

1. Black, dark tones or deeply grayed colors tend to make the figure appear smaller or
slimmer than bright or light colors.
2. A plain color makes the figure look slimmer than a combination of contrasting colors.
A two-tone effect broken across the figure makes it look shorter and broader. A
lengthwise contrast helps to give an illusion of slenderness. Large prints or plaids
may make the figure appear large or heavier.
3. A very small figure should not wear over large designs in prints, plaids, or stripes; the
person with a large figure should avoid them as well as a too-dainty design. This type
should choose motifs that are moderate and avoid the conspicuous or too sharply
designed.
4. Contrast and accent should be done with care. A little accent, perhaps a touch of red
on many blue at the throat or shoulder is smarter than a repeated accent. If you have
a particular figure problem, such as large bust or hips, place your color contrast in
such a way that it draws away the eye and emphasize a good point.
 The simplest harmony is the dominant harmony. It is a harmony of two or more tones
of one color or a harmony in which one color pervades such as tints and shades of
brown, tints and shades of green. They are found in nature.
Analogous harmony is a harmony of two or more colors alike in some ways but
different in others. It is based on the contrast in value. Examples are red, red-violet,
and violet.
A contrasting harmony is a combination of two colors which are different in hue and
which require a third color to bring them together. It is the hardest color to combine.
Examples are sage-green, cream, rose and black, black or gold, gray-blue, red with
black or gold.

Classifications of Colors
According to some fashion designers, in wearing appropriate dress, we should
consider the Law of the Dressing Scheme which emphasizes the harmonious combination of
colors in costumes and the becomingness of the colors in bringing out the charm of the
eyes, hair, and skin tone of the wearer.
To bring out the best in our personality, the color of the eyes, hair and complexion
should always be considered. This determines that white complexioned prefers the light
colors, green is the best color and tints of orange, blue, and red creamy, and white. Avoid
brown, yellow and purple. Fair complexioned can wear light or dark colors but should avoid
medium values. Colors which harmonizes with the hair and eyes are becoming like old rose,
deep reds, yellow gold. Avoid gray, blue gray, light and dark blue and olive green.
Pale faced should avoid brilliant colors. Yellow complexion needs light tan and
natural color and dark complexion can wear broken orange which adds life and personality.
Purple is hard to wear because it gives the complexion a muddy appearance especially for
the young girls but suitable for the gowns of older women.
Neutral and bright colors emphasize age, size, feature, complexion and should be
selected carefully. Light colors express gaiety and daintiness while dark ones give force and
dignity.
