THE PRINCIPLESOF DESIGN

The Principles are like a cake. The elements are the ingredients thatyou can put together to make a yummy cake. If the ingredients for acake are mixed incorrectly, the cake will taste bad.

Similarly, if the Elements of Design are used in such a way it ispossible the final work of art isnt successful.

Each Principle of Design is like a cake flavor- chocolate, carrot, angelfood, etc!
