1.The principles of design suggest how a designer can best arrange the various elements of a page layout in connection to the overall design and to each other.
2.The principles are: Balance, Proportion, Rhythm, Emphasis, and Unity.
3.CRAP is: Contrast, repetition, Alignment, Proximity
4.Contrast helps a design because if one color is dark the other is light, it will attract people.
5.If the contrast is too low it will be hard for people to concentrate on the design it might also strain their eye. If the contrast is too high it will also make it hard for the people to concentrate.
6.Create a focal point.
7.The principle of repetition means the reusing of the same elements throughout your design.
8.It can help you to make people focus on one object or area in a design.
9.You can make the same designs over and over and make one design unique.
10.Don't make everything the same, change the color one part and keep the others the same.
11.The principles of alignment means the way different objects within a composition are spaced to each other.
12.The principle of proximity means closeness or distance of individual design elements. Close proximity indicates a connection.
13.The principle of proportion means the relative visual size and weight of particular graphical elements in a design composition.
14.Symmetrical balance means the near or exact matching of left and right sides of a three-dimensional form or a two-dimensional composition.
15.Informal balance
16.In asymmetrical balance, the two sides are not identical, but differ from one another
17.A focal point is an area that attracts peoples attention it can created by colors or shape of a design.
18.3

20.The principle of harmony is using compatible colors and shapes in their designs.
21.The principle of unity is the fundamental principle of design and it is supported by all the other principles.
22.Variety means to change the character of an element, to make it different.
23.You can add variety to a design is by using color, shape, or the the size.
