Move it, move it

A frame-by-frame exploration of principles of design (Balance, Proportion, Unity, Rhythm/Movement, Emphasis)

Rocket Ship

The genesis and demise of a wave

Using dots and lines, I created compositions to show the principles of design. I came up with two sets of three abstract compositions and put them together as a single sequence of animation. The first one — rocket ship- starts with a single line (Balance), the red dot (Emphasis) triggers the line to form distinct shapes creating rhythm. The second one — genesis and demise of a wave- starts with 4 lines (Unity) coming together to create a tower of lines (Proportion) which in turn turns into waves (Rhythm) and back into a line (Balance).

Proportion, Balance, Repetition

Other Explorations

I explored these principles with some abstract shapes and colours as well.
