Design Elements And Principles

Design Elements and Principles are fundamental concepts and aspects that contribute to the aesthetic and functional qualities of a design. Coursera's design elements and principles catalogue teaches you about the core components of design like line, shape, color, texture, size, value, and space, as well as key principles like balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity. You'll learn how to effectively apply these elements and principles to create visually appealing and impactful designs. Whether you're an aspiring graphic designer, a professional artist, or wishing to improve your visual communication skills, this catalogue will help you understand and harness the power of design elements and principles.
