What design principles are
evident in this image?
Composition: How you arrange your elements on your
drawing surface, the overall design of your objects
Cropping- zooming in to create a more unified
composition
Repetition- repeating art elements
Emphasis- one area of the image stands out
Unity- all the parts of the image work together because of
color and shape relationships
Harmony- unity through use of color scheme
Implied Form- The objects have the illusion of being 3D

Too far away!!! Cluttered
Background! No emphasis!
Better, but too
central, and
cluttered
background
Better, some objects
appear closer, overlapping
is being used
Too Over-head- objects appear as flat
shapes, not enough depth and 3D form.
Good composition,
cluttered
background, and be
careful of using too
much of the same
color- shows unity,
but lacks contrast
LIGHTING IS VERY
IMPORTANT!
HIGHLIGHTS AND
SHADOWS MAKE
THINGS APPEAR 3D
