Project: Elements & Principles of Design

For the next assignment you are to illustrate six principles of design. You need to use a single shape as a constant for all images AND you are limited to only black and white (no color or gray). Do not use any distortion tools.

The principles are:

Balance
Contrast
Emphasis
Movement
Pattern
Scale

Below you will find examples of illustrations to represent the Principles of Design.

OR you can asymmetrical balance

The image below is the same shapes as above but not balanced. Can you see the difference?
