Principles and

Elements of Design
LESSON 1.1
Personalities differ defending on the kind
of clothing people wear……

 Introvert
persons – prefer clothes of simple yet classical cut
with pastel or light colors.

 Extroverts– are creative, artistic, expressive, and energetic.


Hence they prefer clothing that is comfortable, attractive,
and fashionable.
Two basic ways which design is applied:

Design by Printing is the use of dye or


ink on the surface of the fabric. They are
called “prints”. When designs are
printed all over the fabric, it is called
“all-over print”.
All-over print
Designs by Weaving are permanent because if
the “color-fast dyes” as the fabric is woven.
Designs such as stripes use more colors of yarn
and will always be straight because they form
“grain line” on the fabric. When horizontal
lines cross vertical lines to form rectangles or
square, it is called plaid.

Principles of Design

1. Proportion – is the relationship in size


between various parts and the whole.
According to some artists, normal humans are
usually 7-8 times the height of their heads,
meaning you can use the height of the head as a
unit of measurement to give the “lay lines” for
the parts of your body.

Try to measure the proportion of your body.


Principle of Design
 Balance – is the arrangement of a design on a space resulting to sense of
equilibrium.
a. Formal or symmetrical balance – is the visual weight of each side of
an imaginary central vertical line.
b. Informal or asymmetrical balance – is when the design is balanced, but
each side is different in some way.
c. Radial Balance – is achieved when all parts of the design are at equal
distance from a central point
3. Emphasis – is achieved by the designer’s ability
to create a center of interest by which the viewer’s
eyes are directed to a specific area of a garment or
body part.
 Rhythm – is the repetition of an accent to create an interesting design.
 Harmony – is the pleasing and congruent arrangement of parts. It is the blending of
all components of design. When the structural lines, decorative lines, colors, and
accessories all relate to each other comfortably, harmony results.
Activity

short-sized bond paper applying the
