Design Concepts
Points: By nature we often apply meaning to points. Our eyes automatically connect two points on a page. Often we blend similar points in an image. Therefore some images, composed of only points or dots, appear as if prepared with solid colors.
Translucency: Translucent elements allow some light to shine through such that viewers can partially see objects behind translucent elements.
Scale: Scale and proportion communicate size and distance.
Saturation: The most saturated colors use just one wavelength at high intensity. Highly saturated images are colorful.
Gradients: Smooth color transitions.
Monochrome: Monochromatic images use one hue with one or more values.
Perspective: Perspective provides a sense of depth.
Analogues: Colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel are considered analogues.
Complementary Color: Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered complementary colors.
Repetition: Pattern or repetition reinforce a concept or provide a sense of texture.
