Primes

• Color Harmony
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
• Composition
  • The establishment of visual or cognitive hierarchy through scale, position, contrast, and emphasis

    This sourceSystematic treatment of 2-D design elements — repetition, gradation, similarity, contrast, anomaly, concentration, texture, space — underpinning hierarchy, rhythm/repetition-variation, and the structure of visual organization (D36-004, D36-005, D36-009, D36-013). NOTE: publisher in the .md is wrongly listed as 'John Wiley & Sons'; correct publisher is Van Nostrand Reinhold.

• Emphasis (Focal Point)
  • The establishment of visual hierarchy through scale, positioning, and prominence relationships among primary, secondary, and tertiary elements

    This sourceSystematizes 2-D composition principles, explicitly including Contrast and Concentration — supports establishment of visual hierarchy through scale/positioning/prominence (D36-079) and single-vs-distributed emphasis (D36-085).

• Figure-Ground

  • This sourceSurvey of forms and structures in two-dimensional composition. Bibliography-only (never cited in the body); listed twice in References.

• Gestalt Principles

  • This sourceTier C: bibliography only. Existence-verified and linked.

• Iconography
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
• Juxtaposition
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
• Movement (Visual Movement)
  • The establishment of directional-flow cues (implied or explicit lines, diagonals, rhythmic repetition, convergence) guiding perception
• Negative Space
  • The deliberate use of empty, unadorned, or unoccupied space as a design element with communicative and aesthetic function
• Pattern (in Design)
  • The specification of a fundamental repeating unit or motif (module, cell, or tiling unit) that anchors the pattern system
• Perspective
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
• Proportion and Scale
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
• Texture
  • The integration of texture with form, color, and composition to create visual or tactile coherence
• Unity & Variety
  • The maintenance of coherence such that variations reinforce rather than contradict the unifying core

Verification

This reference passed the adversarial substantiation pipeline: it was checked to exist and to support the claim it is attached to. See how references were verified.
