Harmony

The wholeness of a design, it is when all elements work together to create a unified and balanced whole.

Variety

Assortment of different visual elements to create interest contrast and diversity within a composition.

Balance

Principle of equality, we need to consider weight created by colors, texture, numbers of objects.

Rhythym

Visual tempo or beat, repetition. A regular repetition of the elements of art.

Proportion

Proportion is all about how objects relate to each other in terms of size, scale, shapes, and quantities between the various elements of a composition.

Movement

refers to the way the eye travels over a design. The most important element should lead to the next most important and so on.

Proximity

proximity is a principle of design that refers to the spatial relationship between the elements of the design. The rules of proximity are pretty simple: things that are related should be nearer to each other, and things that are unrelated should be placed further from each other.

Contrast

It involves using colors that are distinctly different from each other to create visual separation. High color contrast can draw attention to specific elements or convey different emotions. For example, using black text on a white background creates strong color contrast, making the text highly legible.
