Design principles are propositions that, when applied to design elements, form a design.[1]


Balance

Types of balance in visual design

The top image has symmetrical balance and the bottom image has asymmetrical balance

Hierarchy/Dominance/Emphasis

Scale/proportion

Scale in design

Increasing an element's scale in a design piece increases its value in terms of hierarchy and makes it to be seen first compared to other elements while decreasing an element's scale reduces its value.
