  SUMMARY – PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
  
  1. Balance
  
  Balance refers to how visual weight is distributed in a design.
  It can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial. It helps a garment look stable and well-structured.
  
  2. Proportion
  
  Proportion is the size relationship between different parts of a design, such as sleeve length vs. body length. Good proportion makes the outfit look natural and pleasing.
  
  3. Emphasis
  
  Emphasis creates a focal point—the part of a design that attracts attention first. Achieved through color, shape, texture, or unique details.
  
  4. Rhythm
  
  Rhythm creates a sense of movement in a design through repetition, gradation, alternation, or radiation. It makes the eye flow smoothly across the garment.
  
  5. Harmony
  
  Harmony means all elements work well together, giving the design unity and consistency. Colors, shapes, and textures must complement each other.
  
  6. Contrast
  
  Contrast involves placing opposing elements together to create interest—for example, light vs. dark or smooth vs. rough. It adds excitement and makes features stand out.
  
  7. Unity
  
  Unity is when all parts of a design belong together, creating a complete, well-organized look. It ensures the design communicates one clear message.
