1.Line
The first and most basic element of design is that of
the line. In drawing, a line is the stroke of the pen or
pencil but in graphic design, it’s any two connected
points. Lines are useful for dividing space and
drawing the eye to a specific location.

2.Shape
Shapes, geometric or organic, add interest. Shapes
are defined by boundaries, such as a lines or color,
and they are often used to emphasize a portion of the
page.

3.Form
An element of art that is three-dimensional and
encloses volume; includes height, width AND depth
(as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder).
Form may also be free flowing.

4.Color
Color is one of the most obvious elements of design,
for both the user and the designer. It can stand alone,
as a background, or be applied to other elements, like
lines, shapes, textures or typography.

5.Texture
An element of art that refers to the way things feel, or
look as if they might feel if touched.

6.Value
The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. White is
the lightest value; black is the darkest. The value
halfway between these extremes is called middle
gray.

7.Size
Size is simply the relationship of the area occupied by
one shape to that of another.

8.Space
Space can be defined as positive or negative. Positive
space is the filled space, the object(s) or element(s) in
thedesign. Negative space is the empty space, or the open
space between design elements or objects, such as a
background.
