Principles of Design - Scale and Proportion

The principles of scale and proportion in graphic design are related. Scale relates the size of one thing to the size of everything else around it in a piece of work whereas proportion relates each item in the piece of work to the whole piece of work itself. The picture provided shows examples of both scale and proportion.

For example:

Scale in this picture is like the relationship between the house's size and everything else around it from the trees to the wooden posts to the hills.

Proportion on the other hand is like the relationship between the size of each object in the piece of work to the whole piece of work overall.
