00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,020
In this video, you'll learn the importance of size and texture in design.

2
00:00:05,020 --> 00:00:06,800
Let's get started.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,200
Size is the quality of primary visual elements,

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,200
which we just went over—line and shape.

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,300
All elements have a definitive size,

6
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:19,870
which is its measurable form.

7
00:00:19,870 --> 00:00:23,370
Scale is the difference between 2 objects

8
00:00:23,370 --> 00:00:26,480
or in comparison to a standard.

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,360
Scale allows us to indicate if something is too small

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,890
or too large.

11
00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:35,790
If we're referring to the harmony of 2 objects in comparison,

12
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:38,110
this is defining the proportion.

13
00:00:38,110 --> 00:00:42,120
This is judged by the ratio of scale from one comparison

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,720
of 2 or more objects.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,160
Size is always a cautious choice made by the designer.

16
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:50,710
Should it be scaled up,

17
00:00:50,710 --> 00:00:54,260
and how will it compare to the other objects?

18
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:55,900
Will it be proportionate?

19
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:59,520
Size and scale play a huge role in design.

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,810
Next up, let's talk about texture.

21
00:01:01,810 --> 00:01:06,180
Texture is the quality of feel, appearance, or consistency

22
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:08,730
of an object or objects.

23
00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:12,470
Thus, every shape and line has texture.

24
00:01:12,470 --> 00:01:15,920
There's implied texture, like with LEGOs.

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,430
Or there's visual texture, which is different than implied, as there is no touch.

26
00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:24,950
One form of visual texture is pattern.

27
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:29,200
Pattern is simply a repeated decorated design.

28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,180
Patterns are broken up into what we call a motif.

29
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:37,040
When we repeat a motif, we have constructed a pattern.

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,640
In this example, this design here would be the motif.

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,930
Then when that motif is repeated,

32
00:01:43,930 --> 00:01:46,430
that's when our pattern is formed.

33
00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:51,360
So, again, we have implied texture, like LEGOs.

34
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,150
And then we have visual texture,

35
00:01:53,150 --> 00:01:57,690
which are broken up into motifs, which then create a pattern.

36
00:01:58,310 --> 00:02:03,030
Next up, we have color, but before we jump into it, let's take a quick quiz.
