selected area of the design.

• Harmony – also called a unity of design. When design elements and

principles complement each other there is harmony.

• Proportion – it refers to the pleasing relationship between the elements

of design.

• Rhythm - is the repetition of an accent to create an interesting design.

b. Progression - created by the gradual increase or

decrease of similar design elements.
