Websters Dictionary defins the word "principles" as "a rule or code fo conduct." (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/principle) Wether we realize it or not, just about every thing we do is governed by some form of principle or another. This
is true for design too.
It is debatable as to exactly how many principles there actually are. If you were to google it there are some sites that will tell you that there are only five while others give you as many as twenty. For all intensive purposes I am going to cover the six that I believe are important. The Six Principles of Design are: Unity, Balance, Consistency, Contrast, Emphasis, Perspective.
