Which term refers to the placement of elements in a composition in relation to imaginary axis, such as margins, or to other design elements in the composition?

alignment

progressive rhythm

What is the relationship between the size of objects?

proportion

What term refers to the physical locations of elements in relation to each other?

proximity

What type of balance does the following design illustrate? (green spikes pointing towards a darker green teardrop shape)

When a design involves elements spiraling out from a central point, what is it called?

radial

Which of the following types of balance can provide both order and structure while maintaining a dynamic and active feel?

radial

Which of the following colors is considered warm?

red

A design that involves a consistent pattern with minimal variation, providing a predictable, steady path for the eye to follow involves which type of rhythm?

regular rhythm

Which type of rhythm does the image represent? (3x3 of blue and red snowflakes alternating colors)

regular rhythm

Which of the following refers to the repetition and patterns created by similar or varying design elements in a composition?

right

In design, to which of the following does rhythm refer?

space

Which shape does the letter H correspond to?

Which of the following levels of dominance contains the middle ground of a composition?

subdominant

Which of the following levels of dominance contains the secondary elements(s)?

subdominant

Which of the following levels of dominance contains the tertiary element(s)?

subordinate

Which type of balance involves mirroring a design across a central axis?

symmetrical

A composition that grows, fades, advances, or recedes has what type of rhythm?

progressive rhythm

What is the technique of reducing the size of text as it moves down a page?

diminuendo

A design that creates rhythm without using repetition, alternation, or gradation most likely involves which of the following?

discord

Which type of rhythm is more organic?

flowing rhythm

What is the subordinate element in this image? (dark brownish orange background, with the word COLOR in white with black outline on the top center, with a bunch of different colors under it making it stripes)

orange background

Which of the following patterns represents an alternating rhythm? Select all that apply.

- A B C A B C A B C A B C - A D A D A D A D A D

What role does harmony play in a composition?

Harmony can help balance a composition. Without it, it can send of the feeling that a composition is not balanced, or that something just isn't right with it. Harmony helps make a composition feel more balanced, it can also make it feel more relaxed/calming. It helps unify the composition and use similar colors, lines, shapes, or other elements.

What is the most difficult color combination to read?

black and blue

What color combination has the highest readability?

black and pale yellow

What is another word for positive space?

figure
