Designing
basically involves giving form to a particular idea by keeping
into mind the different aspects of designing such as proportion,
flow, balance etc. It is ultimately the end result, which
has to be seen and admired.
Proportion
Pleasing
relationship of areas sometimes referred to as scale.
The relative length of two parts of a garment is termed
as proportion. The degree and method of subordinating
some part of a design to other is shown as proportion.
Balance
Balance
is the equal distribution of weights. (Actual or virtual)
Symmetry between the left and right halves of the body
in a garment is termed as the symmetrical balance. The
purpose of balance is to bring a satisfying relationship
between all the design parts.
Rhythm
Rhythm is the repeated use of lines or shapes to create
a pattern. Rhythm is achieved through: Symmetrical
designs
Asymmetrical designs
Radiation
Repetition
Dominance
Isolation
Emphasis
Emphasis creates a centre of interest by focusing the
viewer's attention on a specific area of the garment.
It is basically the use of subordination in various parts
in order to emphasize and highlight certain parts.
Unity
Unity means that all elements of a design work together
to produce a successful visual effect. Also known as harmony,
achieved when the fundamental elements of design have
been used to express a single concept.
