INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL DESIGN
■ Visual design is the art and science of creating
graphics, layouts, and visuals that communicate
messages effectively and attractively. It combines
aesthetics with functionality to ensure content is not
only beautiful but also easy to understand and
navigate.
• Balance
• Contrast
• Emphasis
• Unity and Harmony
• Rhythm
• Proportion and Scale
• Movements
• Hierarchy
PRINCIPLES
OF
VISUAL
DESIGN
BALANCE
➢ Balance ensures a visually pleasing and
harmonious composition.
➢ Symmetrical Balance: Elements are
evenly placed on both sides of the
composition.
➢ Asymmetrical Balance: Different
elements are used to create equilibrium
without exact symmetry.
CONTRAST
➢ Contrast highlights differences
between elements, making certain
aspects stand out.
➢ It can be created through color,
shape, size, texture, and typography.
➢ High contrast draws attention, while
low contrast creates a subtle effect.
➢ Emphasis is used to draw attention to
a focal point in the design.
➢ It helps in guiding the viewer’s eye
to the most important information.
➢ Can be achieved using bold colors,
larger sizes, or unique shapes.
EMPHASIS
➢ Unity ensures that all elements work
together cohesively.
➢ Harmony creates a sense of
completeness and prevents visual
clutter.
➢ Achieved through consistent color
schemes, typography, and spacing.
UNITY AND HARMONY
➢ Rhythm gives a sense of movement
through repeated elements.
➢ It can be regular (predictable), flowing
(smooth), or progressive (gradual
changes).
➢ Repetition of shapes, colors, or lines
helps establish visual rhythm.
RHYTHM
➢ Proportion is the size relationship
between elements within a design.
➢ Scale refers to how elements compare
in size to their surroundings.
➢ Larger elements often appear more
important, while smaller ones feel
secondary.
PROPORTION AND SCALE
➢ Movement controls how the eye
travels through a design.
➢ It directs attention using lines,
shapes, contrast, and spacing.
➢ Good movement keeps the design
engaging and prevents confusion.
MOVEMENTS
➢ Hierarchy organizes elements based
on their importance.
➢ Larger, bolder, or more colorful
elements are seen as more important.
➢ Hierarchy improves readability and
guides viewers effectively.
