HNC3O

Chapter 10

Ms. Pannell

Objectives

1. Determining body, shape and size

2. Elements of design

3. Principles of design

4. Using design elements and principles

Shape and Size

• Frame: skeletal structure of the bones– small, medium, large

• Size Ratio between upper and lower body

• Geometric shape– Triangle (narrow shoulders, wide hips)– Inverted Triangle (wide shoulders, narrow hips) – Rectangle (about the same width shoulders, waist and hips)– Hour-glass (same at chest and hips, narrow at waist)

Whatever your body height, shape, and size may be, clothing can change your appearance with design illusions

What is good design?

Lines and illusion

• Horizontal Lines – lead eyes from side to side giving the illusion of more width and less height

• Includes two piece outfits and bright belts

• Create a feeling of stability and restfulness

Lines and illusion

• Thickness of line and amount of space between also creates illusion

• Widely spaced vertical lines = appearance of more width – eyes move across lines

• Widely spaced horizontal lines = appearance of less width – eyes move up and down lines

Shape

• Outline that forms when one or more lines come together to enclose and area

• Most clothes fit 4 basic shapes:– Natural: follows body outline– Tubular: rectangular with a vertical emphasis– Bell: both diagonal and horizontal lines combine to

create bell shape– Full: has more horizontal and curved lines than other

shapes do

Shape

• Fashion trends influence which shapes are in style during a fashion season

Space

• Space is the area inside a shape

• What goes on inside the space contributes to the visual effect of the garment

– How will the space be divided?– What is the relationship between the spaces?– What will go in the space?
