1. Space: Refers to the area within and around a design. It can be positive (occupied by objects) or negative (empty space between objects). Effective use of space creates balance, flow, and visual interest.
2. Form: Relates to the shapes and three-dimensional objects within a design. Forms can be geometric (squares, circles, triangles) or organic (free-flowing, irregular shapes).
3. Line: A fundamental visual element that can be straight, curved, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Lines create boundaries, define shapes, and can suggest movement, direction, or emotion.
4. Light: Plays a crucial role in defining the mood and atmosphere of a space. Natural light and artificial light sources can be used to highlight certain areas, create shadows, and enhance the perception of textures and colors.
5. Color: Evokes emotions and creates visual interest. Color choices impact the overall feel of a space, from vibrant and energetic to calm and serene.
6. Pattern: Refers to the repetition of elements like lines, shapes, or colors. Patterns can add visual interest, create rhythm, and enhance the overall aesthetic.
7. Texture: The surface quality of an object, how it feels or appears to feel. Texture adds depth and dimension to a design, creating visual and tactile interest.
