The principles of design are the basic rules or guidelines that artists and designers use to arrange or organize the elements of design (like line, colour, shape, etc.) in a good and attractive way.

Principles of design are like rules that help us arrange colours, lines, shapes and other things in our artwork so it will look fine and nice.

1. Balance means making sure both sides of your work are not too heavy or too light — everything should feel even.


2. Rhythm means repeating colours, lines or shapes to make your design look like it is moving or dancing.


3. Harmony means everything in the design matches and works well together — nothing should look strange or out of place.


4. Proportion means that the sizes of things in your drawing or design are correct — like the head should not be bigger than the whole body.


5. Contrast means using things that are very different — like dark and light colours, big and small shapes — to make some parts stand out.


6. Emphasis (Focus) means making one part of your work catch attention first — so people can know it is the most important part.


7. Unity means that all parts of your design go well together and make one complete and nice work.
