Design Principles...okay..following

So Composition I think, are the objects, shapes, lines and whatever it is that is on the graphic; figure are the kinds of shapes on the graphic and ground is the background? At least that's what I'm getting at. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

design principles are concernd with how components in a visual may be organised and are usually the first steps a designer may consider or apply

This has been wonderful am really enjoying it,@jamil tanks for your explanation on composition,figure and ground

These are guide lines like composition, figure, ground, balance, contrast, cropping, hierarchy that would help us to enhance a better creative design

is Composition = Hiearchy

i think figure = components of ur scene/art-work ground = back ground &/ ground of ur scene/art-work composition = how u organize ur component in a scene/art-work like A,B n C are ur objects, n the compositions are A,B,C / A,C,B / B,A,C / B,C,A / C,A,B / C,B,A etc if i m wrong pls rectify me

Design principles are the components used in creating a design. There are 10 basic principles of designs 1-Composition 2-Figure 3-Ground 4-Contrast 5-Balance 6-Cropping 7-Scale 8-Hiearchy 9-Pattern 10-Propotion
