Designing basically involves giving form to
a particular idea by keeping into mind the different aspects of
designing such as proportion, flow, balance etc. It is ultimately
the end result, which has to be seen and admired.
Proportion
Pleasing relationship of areas sometimes referred to as scale.
The relative length of two parts of a garment is termed as
proportion. The degree and method of subordinating some part of
a design to other is shown as proportion.
|
Balance
Balance is the equal distribution of weights. (Actual or
virtual) Symmetry between the left and right halves of the body
in a garment is termed as the symmetrical balance. The purpose
of balance is to bring a satisfying relationship between all the
design parts.

Rhythm
Rhythm is the repeated use of lines or shapes to create a
pattern. Rhythm is achieved through:
Symmetrical designs
Asymmetrical designs
Radiation
Repetition
Dominance
Isolation
|
Emphasis
Emphasis creates a centre of interest by focusing the viewer's
attention on a specific area of the garment. It is basically the
use of subordination in various parts in order to emphasize and
highlight certain parts. |
Unity
Unity
means that all elements of a design work together to produce a
successful visual effect. Also known as harmony, achieved when
the fundamental elements of design have been used to express a
single concept. |
