 What is It

PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
The principles of design refer to the organization of a work of art. The
principles of design are as follows.

1. Balance in design is so natural that one is not even aware of it when it is

present, but when it is violated there is a sense of discomfort or annoyance.

a. Formal or symmetrical balance

If objects are alike or are equally forceful in appearance they will attract the same
amount of attention, therefore should be equidistant from the centre.

b. Informal or asymmetrical balance

This second type of balance is called informal, or asymmetric balance.

Whether one uses formal or informal balance depends largely upon the following
conditions.

 The spirit of the age in which one lives

 The use to which the garment is to be put
 The type of people for whom the dress is planned
 One’s own personality

2. Emphasis
Refers to the dominance of one part with subordination of others. Designers often
create emphasis partially through the careful arrangement of line, texture and
colour. It could also be called as focal point.

Page |6
3. Harmony
Refers to unity of design with slight contrast or variety to prevent monotony. If
the principle of proportion, balance, rhythm and emphasis are applied creatively,
the resultant design is said to have the harmony.

4. Proportion or Scale
Good proportion refers to pleasing relationship between the sizes of various design
details in a dress and between the garment itself and the design details.
Proportion includes the relationship of height, width, depth and the surrounding
space of each design.
Scale: refers to the relationship between the garment and its design details as
well as between the wearer and the garment.

5. Rhythm

Refers to the smooth movement of the eye from one part of a design to another.
Rhythm can be obtained through regular repetition of shapes and decorative details
like tucks, pleats, scallops, buttons.

Page |7
 Elements of Design
Elements are the tools used to create a design. Elements of design include:

1. Line:
A mark used to denote directions or contours. When lines meet, space is
enclosed and a space is defined.
There are two kinds of lines in garments:
a. Directional line such as vertical, horizontal, diagonal, checkered, broken
and curved. These affect the height and size of an individual. Lines
serve as clothing designs like the art of printing flowers, dots and
on the fabric.

a. Horizontal and b. Checkered c. diagonal

Vertical
b. Structural lines are found on necklines, armholes, hemlines, darts, side
seams, sleeves, collars, tucks and pleats of garments.

a. with bateau neckline b. with V neckline

2. Color
Colors are important to make things look good, whether it’s the clothes
you wear or the presentation you give at work. If you can’t trust your own
judgement, understand and rely on the basics of color theory to always pick the
right colors.

Page |8
Hue is the name given to a color (red, blue, etc.)

Value is the lightness or darkness of a color.

Intensity (also known as saturation or chroma) the brightness or dullness of a

color.
Primary colors are colors red, yellow and blue.
Secondary colors will result when you mix two primary colors like mixing red and
yellow get orange; mixing blue and yellow, you get green; mixing red
and blue, you get violet.
Tertiary colors are derived by mixing a primary color with a secondary color.
All colors have tints and shades. A tint is the variation of that color when mixed
with white; a shade is the variation of that colors when mixed with black.
There are warm and cool colors. Each has its own purpose to convey emotions.
Warm colors exhibit energy and joy (best for personal messages), while
cool colors convey calmness and peace (best for office use).

Neutral Colors are black, white and grey.

Different Types of Color Schemes

1. Monochromatic Color Scheme - the entire space is

dictated by one color. Example light yellow blouse, with
dark yellow suit and a very dark yellow accessories.

2. Analogous Color Scheme - This color scheme is relegated to just three colors—
meaning you pick a color on the wheel (say, dark green)
and then use the colors on either side of it (in this case,
light green and light blue).

3. Complementary Color Scheme

The colors are complementary to each other, meaning
directly across from each other on the wheel, example
yellow and purple, orange and blue, and red and green.
4.Split-Complementary Color Scheme

Page |9
This color scheme uses one main color on the wheel and

then the two colors that are on either side of its

complementary counterpart.

3. Shape/Form: Refers to the form of a person showing the curves of the body.
Wide full shapes will make you look larger while trim, compact dress will make you
look smaller. Straight, tubular shapes will make the wearer look taller while fitted
clothes will reveal the natural body contours.

4. Space: It is an area inside an enclosed shape. A surface area that has height,
width and the illusion of depth. The use of space can lead to an interesting design.
An overuse of space could make the design confusing while an empty space could
be unattractive and boring.

5. Texture: It is the surface quality of an object rough, smooth, silky etc.

Rough smooth silky

FABRICS
Fabric is a cloth made of fibers. Fibers are hair –like strands that are
wound to make a yarn or thread to make fabric. Fabric is the cloth or material used
in making our clothes, curtains, tablecloths, sheets and many other items.

Types of Fabric

Woven Fabric is made up of fibers which run straight at ninety degrees angle to
each other.

direction of stretches are all variables.

 SLEEPING GARMENTS

designed to be worn while sleeping. The style of night wear worn may vary with

the chest, waist, seat, upper arm, thigh wrist or ankle;

more than ¼ inch from the point at which it is attached to the garment;
3. It should have sleeves that taper from the shoulders to the ends of the sleeves;
4. It should have pant leg that taper from the thighs to the ends of the legs;
5. If it is 1 piece, it should taper from the chest down to the waist and from the
Seat up to the waist;
