Basic Art of Design (Design
Principles) Digital Artwork
CONTRAST
A design principle that emphasizes differencesbetween the art elements.
For example, a painting may have bright colors that contrast with dull colors or angular shapes that contrast with rounded shapes
Harmony

work together and complement each other.
When a jarring element is added - something
that goes against the whole - it is said to be
dissonant, just like an off-note in a musical
performance

PROPOTION
Proportion is the relative size of one object in comparison to another.
The human body is a considered an ideal proportion based on the size relationships between the body and the head.
