 Principles of Design


The principles of design are balance, symmetry, asymmetry, and radial symmetry. There is also unity, harmony, rhythm, repetition, gradation, contrast, transition, and radiation.

Balance


Balance helps give an interior a sense of equilibrium and ensures that the inside does not seem overwhelming.

symmetry

 

Symmetry is like having a mirror in front of you, with the two sides looking the same. It is best used in formal spaces, as using it too much in homes would make the space seem smaller.

Asymmetry 

Asymmetry gives an interior a sense of openness. It is excellent for living rooms and kitchens, where people spend more time.

Radial symmetry

    Hi Irma! Good blog post. I love the images you chose to display each different principle. I especially love the radial symmetry image! Good job!

    Irma,
    I appreciated your concise but accurate summary of the three types of Balance. Your images were very supportive. Your image of radial balance was excellent. I loved that whole interior. The light fixture mimicked the seating arrangement. Good job on your sketch this week. 25/25 points

Principles of design 2

Principles of design part 2      This week we talk about the different set of principles of design rhythm to transition and emphasis and what effects they have in interior design. Rhythmm other wise also called repetition can be applied to color, texture,  shape or patterns with this rhythm can enhance and interior if done right since to much repetition can overwhelm people rhythm is more commonly used in commercial design. The center wall is a example of rhymth sinche the wall shows a pattern of vertical and horizontal lines. this shows the repetition of certain shapes. Transation the smooth movement from one space to another  Radition  Emphasis is something that draws one eyes in either a certain color or object Sketch

  Container  These five images up top are concept ideas of what I want to do for my container project: an interior that is accessible for people with disabilities with a library and surrounded with nature and cabin-like with a fireplace inside since the location of where the container home is Wisconsin. It gets cold sometimes, and a fireplace would be a nice addition to give the container a cozy and peaceful presence, which I am looking for in my project. Sketch
