Permanent due to the application of “color-fast dyes” when the cloth is woven, They might be solid,
or a blend of colors weaved to produce unique designs. Striped designs employ multiple colors of
yarn and are usually straight because they produce a “grain line” on the cloth. Plaid is formed when
horizontal lines meet vertical lines to produce rectangles or squares. Tweeds are designs created by
combining several colors of nappy yarns to create speckled patterns.
Principles of
Design
Proportion
1. The relationship in size between various parts and the whole.
Balance
1. The arrangement of a design on a space resulting to sense of
equilibrium.
2. It is the equal distribution of weight from a central point or area.
3. There are three kinds of visual balance. They are the formal or
symmetrical balance, informal or asymmetrical balance and radial
balance.
Formal or symmetrical balance
1. Is the equal visual weight of each side of an imaginary central
vertical line. It is achieved when each half of an object is exactly like
the other. A jacket with two breast pockets and two hip pockets is
formally balanced
Informal or asymmetrical balance
1. When the design is balanced, but each side is different in some way.
It is achieved when the two halves of a whole are different, but seem
to be equal in weight or emphasis. For example, a jacket with a
breast pocket on one side can be balanced by a pocket on the hip of
the opposite side.
Radial balance
1. Achieved when all parts of the design are at equal distance from a
central point. A man wearing a sun design on the front of his shirt
may have this king of design.
Emphasis
1. Achieved by the designer’s ability to create a center of interest by
which the viewer’s eyes are directed to a specific area of a garment
or body part.
Rhythm
1. is the repetition of an accent to create an interesting design.
2. Repeating an accent on different parts of the dress or one part of the
dress will achieve a design that is harmonious and visually united.
Harmony
1. The pleasing and congruent arrangement of parts. It is the blending
of all components of design.
2. When the structural lines, decorative lines, colors and accessories all
relate to each other comfortably, harmony results.
Elements of
Design
Line
1. Creates a visual dimension of length and width. When lines meet,
space is enclosed and a shape is defined. Lines direct the eyes to a
certain path of vision, or it can draw the eyes away from an
undesirable area of the body.
Two kinds of Line Garments
1. The Directional line such as vertical, horizontal, diagonal,
checkered, broken and curved. These affect the height and size of
an individual. Lines are serving as clothing designs like the art of
printing flowers, dots and others on fabric.
