PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN :-
• The principles of design are essential to the development and production of clothing used • by individuals and families around the world. Each principle has a specific role in creating an • aesthetically pleasing garment or ensemble. The principles of design consist of: balance, • proportion (also referred to as scale), emphasis, and rhythm. When a garment or ensemble uses • the elements and principles of design to create a visual unity, harmony is achieved. Garments • often integrate more than one principle, while drawing from the elements of design to create a • cohesive look. The following discussion will present background information on each of the • principles of design and applications to clothing design and construction. 1.LINES:-
• Line refers to the way that two points in space are
connected. Whether they’re horizontal lines, diagonal lines, or vertical lines, lines can help direct the eye toward a certain point in your composition. You can also create texture by incorporating different types of lines such as curved or patterned lines instead of just straight lines. 2.COLORS:-
• Color theory is the collection of rules and guidelines which designers use to communicate with users through appealing color schemes in visual interfaces. To pick the best colors every time, designers use a color wheel and refer to extensive collected knowledge about human optical ability, psychology, culture and more. • colors as human perceptions—not absolute qualities—of wavelengths of light. By systematically categorizing colors, he defined three groups: • Primary (red, blue, yellow) • Secondary (mixes of primary colors) • Tertiary (or intermediate – mixes of primary and secondary colors) :PRIMARY COLORS:-
• The three primary colors are spaced equally
around the color wheel, The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. They can be mixed together to create any other color. Every color derives from a mixture of the three primary colors – and no colors can be mixed to create them. :SECONDARY COLORS:-
• Secondary colors are a combination of the primary
colors. You can think of them as children of the primary colors. Orange (red and yellow), purple (red and blue) and green (blue and yellow) are considered the secondary colors and like the primary colors, are spaced equally around the wheel but exactly centered between the primary colors :TERTIARY COLORS:-
• When primary colors and secondary colors are
combined, they create a third class of colors called tertiary colors. Mixing primary and secondary colors makes other colors such as aqua and coral. The tertiary colors are yellow/orange, red/orange, red/purple, blue/purple, blue/green, and yellow/green 3.PATTERNS:-
• Pattern can be one of two things. It is eitherthe
decorative design that repeats over and over a fabric, or it is a flat template, made of paper or card, that is used as the key instruction guide for cutting the separate pieces of a garment. Pattern pieces are traced to allow for size, seam allowance and fit. They can help the dressmaker calculate the correct amount of fabric and its fit, before the trace and cut the template on the final fabric. 4.TEXTURES:-
• Texture describes the body and surface of
fabric. Textures may be rough or smooth, coarse or fine, crisp or clingy, soft or stiff, thin or bulky, opaque or sheer, shiny or dull, heavy or light, or any combination of these characteristics. Because textures have many characteristics, they can enhance or detract from a garment's design. They also affect the illusions of size and shape of the figure. 5.BALANCE:-
• Balance is the principle that the parts or features
of a garment have equal visual weight. Whether the element is a sleeve, a cuff, or a line of buttons, it works with the other parts of a garment. Balance can be symmetrical, which means both sides are equal, with the same elements in the same places. Think of pockets or pleats on a pair of jeans or dress pants. Balance can also be asymmetrical, which can make a garment more exciting. 6.RHYTHM:-
• Rhythm in fashion design is all about the direction and flow of
any/all aesthetics involved. • Line direction may be vertical, horizontal, diagonal or curved. Vertical lines lead the eye upward creating the illusion of height to visually slenderize the figure. Horizontal lines usually carry the eye across. Diagonal lines slant and because of the slant are incredibly slimming and like vertical lines, no matter where you place them on your body will slim that area. Curved lines are graceful. They may be soft when slightly curved or bold when tightly curved. 7.SPACE:-
• Space is often used when designing the interior
space of a home or building. ... FIlled space, and empty space is called negative space” (p. 486). In clothing design, designers use the negative and positive space associated with shapes to create a surface design or pattern.
