1.Introduction
Thereisnoconsensusamongthedesignersanddesigneducatorsonthenumberofdesignelements.AccordingtoLauer,whowroteabookonDesignBasics,“notwodesignerswilleveragreeonthesamelistofdesignelementsandprinciplesoronwhicharewhich”.Therehasnotbeenanyworkonfindingwhytherearemanydesignelementsandprinciples.So,thisgapispartlybeingfilledupthroughinvestigationonthedesignelementsinthispaper.
Chapman,whiledescribingtheprocessofdesigning,statedthat,“Whenartistsplantheirwork,theymustseeandthinkabouttheelementsandprinciplesofdesign.Theelementsofdesignare:
line,shape,color,texture,andvalue(lightanddark).Artistsalsouseideasknownasprinciplesofdesigntoplantheirwork.Aprincipleofdesignisaguideforrelatingthevisualelements.Someprinciplesofdesignare:
balance,rhythm,proportion,pattern,unityandvariety.”
