| What does principles of design mean? | It is the methods by which the elements combine in a design. |
| What are the different types of balance? | ... |
| What are the different types of emphasis? | ... |
| What kinds of rhythm are found in a garment? | ... |
| What is the Golden mean? | The ideal proportion in order to identify beauty. Euclid, believed in moderation for all things. |
| How is the Golden mean correctly shown? | A small part relates to a larger part, and the larger part relates to the whole thing. Expressed as AC:AB=CB:AC |
| What is the difference between scale and proportion? | Proportion compares to things that are different like a women's hip size to waist size, while scale compares the size of two things that are the same like a 4x8 photo to a poster size of the same photo. |
| How is unity demonstrated on a garment? | Unity is shown best when all of the elements integrate in the design. |
| How are the gestalt principles used? | Gestalt is a german word for shape or form. These principles are used to understand the whole piece before examining it separately. The more unified a piece looks the better it rates. |
| What is the Gestalt principle also known as? | Law of simplicity, which means that every stimulus is perceived in its most simple form. |
| What are the eight approaches used in the Gestalt principle? | Similarity, containment, repetition, proximity, continuity, figure/ground, closure, and order. |
| (GP) How does similarity occur? | When objects look similar they belong together in the viewers mind. |
| (GP) How is containment shown? | The edge of a composition or a boundary within the garment is uniting the piece.Containment is mostly shown in seams, like seams on the center part of a bodice. |
| (GP) How does repetition occur? | When the same element occurs over and over, such as line, shape, and color. |
| (GP) What doe Proximity refer to? | The distance between visual elements, the closer two elements are the more unified. |
| (GP) What does continuity state? | Viewer tend to continue shapes beyond their ending points. Flowing from one element to another has a fluid connection. |
| (GP) What does figure/ground refer to? | When the viewer separates whole elements from the background which is caused by using positive and negative space, an example is houdstooth. The unity comes from how easily the two spaces transition. |
| (GP) What does closure mean? | When the brain fills in details that are missing from a image or pattern. |
| (GP) How does Order contribute to unity? | There is an anticipated order or an order that is set by the designer, All of the visual element are ordered or located depending on their importance. |
