PRESENTATION OUTLINE
SCALE
The relative size of an object in relation to other objects.
This staircase appears as if it's floating, making the room feel more open.
PROPORTION
The ratio of one part to another part.
This big furniture fills the empty space of the big room.
SYMMETRICAL BALANCE
Placing identical objects on either side of a central point.
The left side of the room looks as if it's the same as the right.
ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE
Placing different objects of equal visual weight on either side of a central point.
The couches on the left look about the same size as the bed on the right.
RADIAL BALANCE
Placing objects around a central point.
The couches are placed around the center table.
EMPHASIS
Center of attention.
The room is mostly plain except for the fireplace, which acts as a center piece.
RHYTHM
Leads the eye from one point to another.
The ceiling flows as if it's all connected.
REPETITION
Rhythm created by duplicating shapes, colors, pattern, lines, and/or texture.
This whole room is neutral colored, and square shaped.
GRADATION
Rhythm created by gradual change in size or color.
The doorway to this room has a gradual opening to a big room.
RADIATION
Rhythm created by identical objects coming from a central axis.
The staircase splits into identical parts from the middle.
OPPOSITION
Rhythm created by lines meeting at right angles.
The colors don't have a gradual change, it goes strait from white to red.
TRANSITION
Rhythm created by curved lines that carry your eye across a strait surface.
The spiral staircase looks almost as if it goes into the ceiling and spirals back down.
HARMONY
Achieved through sensitive balance of variety and unity.
There are many different colors but they all blend due to a certain beach theme.
UNITY
Gives a sense that everything in a piece of work belongs there.
All the pictures in this office fill the space on the wall perfectly, if one was missing it wouldn't look complete.
VARIETY
Variety creates interest and uniqueness. There is a lot going on in this room with shapes, color and balance, but it all fits together.
