Elements of Design: line, color, shape, texture, form, space
The elements of design that most relate to the work we are doing at the GHM are line, color, shape, texture, and space

• line - curves in walls throughout lobby and museum
• color - new refreshing and exciting colors
• shape - curves rather than hard corners
• texture - durable materials to add texture and help with acoustics of the space
• space - using the size of the space and the height of the ceiling to an advantage to connect all three floors of the lobby space

Principles of Design: rhythm, emphasis, balance, unity, and proportion

The principles of design that most relate to the work we are doing at the GHM are rhythm, emphasis, unity, and proportion.

• rhythm - the history and curves resenating within the space
• emphasis - using pops of bright colors for way finding
• unity - connecting the museum with the outside community in the lobby space
• proportion - altering the size of regular objects to work with the height of the space
