Principles of design

1. Primary principals of design are
- Unity
- Variety
- Hierarchy
- Dominance
- Proportion
- Balance

 2.
The following company logos show one or more of these aspects.

A. This logo shows unity through the simple shapes and type making it easily recognizable. It also shows balance through the continuous use of black for the text and logo and the proportions of the logo and text are in. Proportion which is also another principal of design.

B. This logo is the original bungie.net logo it uses 3 basic colours and simple text and shapes. it uses dominance through using the cyan ball as the dot for the i and the stripe going to the dot. balance through the logo using text with a consistence font type.




C. This logo shows balance and proportion through the use of a consistent font type.it shows variety by creating whitespace where the first o is. creating a more flowing and unique logo.







D. This logo proportion, hierarchy and unity through the use of colour.











E. This logo shows balance and proportion through the use of text and circles.It also shows unity through the text showing dominance over the background.


3. The difference between symmetric and asymmetric balance is the 2 sides of a central axis. symmetrical images will have the same or very similar objects and shapes placed in the same spot on both sides where asymmetric is  using uneven numbers shapes and sized objects will uses negative and positive space to form and counterpart its other side.

4. I couldn't find use of the "golden triangle" in the notes so i google'd it..(i did see the golden rectangle which is used to create harmony and balance in works of painting and drawings, it also specify's that graphic designers use the rectangle as a format for print and digital media). Where the golden triangle according to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_triangle_(mathematics) ) is a isosceles triangle where the 2 equal sides are 3 times the length of the smaller side.

5. A tangible element of design is shape, space, line, texture and type because they have a physical defines presence.
