"The Main Thing" ($30.00)




















(adjusted price......$30.00)

This quote is all about priorities. When we lose sight of the most important things, life can get a little confusing. Knowing what the main thing is brings it all back in focus again.

In design language, the main thing is called dominance. Dominance is crucial to unity. One type of line (straight or curved) dominating...one particular direction...one particular shape...one value...one color...one texture...one size needs to dominate by how much space it occupies or how many times it's repeated.

Heirarchy is closely related to dominance. It is a body of elements arranged according to rank, authority, or capacity.

In the visual arts, heirarchy is the presentation of certain elements as more important than others. By conveying a clear sense of heirarchy an artist provides stability, sequence, and movemeent within a design. Just something to think about.
