The document discusses key principles of design including balance, emphasis, proportion and scale, rhythm and repetition, and unity and variety. Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial. Emphasis is used to draw attention to focal points. Proportion and scale relate the size of elements to each other or the whole. Rhythm and repetition create visual patterns through consistent or recurring elements. Unity combines all aspects into a cohesive work while variety introduces diversity.
