Graphic Design/Principles of Design. Some of the most commonly acknowledged principles of design are alignment, balance, contrast, proximity, repetition, and white space. Additionally, compositions are evaluated based on the use of (and the successes or failures of) harmony, emphasis, gestalt, pattern, movement, rhythm, proportion, and unity.
The Principles of Design and Organization: The distribution of interest or visual weight in a work. If all the visually interesting elements of a work are centered in one spot, the work is off-balance and the viewer's gaze will be stuck in one place, ignoring the rest of the piece.
