Principles and examples:
- Balance- physical and visual -having to do with the distribution of objects (asymmetrical and symmetrical)
- Proportion- how big or small it is in comparison with other objects
- Rhythm- a sense of movement in a design
- Scale- measurement of the plant size within its measured space
- Unity- helps people feel connected to nature. Unity shows similarities
- Dominance- focal or emphasis plants that are bigger or brighter than others (naturally)
- Harmony- a diverse palette of plants that work well together.
Elements of design and examples:
- Color- combining colors (ie-warms, cools, opposites) from the color wheel. Certain colors have certain psychological effects (ie green is calming)
- Pattern- repeated visual images
- Form- the shape of the plat (linear, hanging, upright, etc.)
- Texture- the surface of objects, it appeals to the sense of touch
- Space- positive (where there are objects) and negative (open space)- they can create different statements about a room
- Line- what direction the plant is growing (you can have fun with this in the growing process)
