III Make up a plan of the text.

IV Translate the paragraph in italics in a written form.

V Render the text in brief in a written form.

VI Work in pairs. Discuss the questions:

1. What are the principles of design?

2. What is the first step in creating successful visual compositions?

3. Where do we use these principles?

4. How can be balance determined?

5. How can one achieve harmony?

6. Why is proportion important?

7. What is repetition?

8. How is unity achieved?

VII Practice reading the dialogue with your partner:

• What are you busy with?

• I’m reading the text about elements and principles of design.

• Are this knowledge important for solving design problems?

• Yes, of course. This knowledge and the ability to apply it are assentional for foundamental designing.

• Does the organization of these elements and principles help to ensure the quality of design that satisfies the needs and desires of a client?

• Yes. All of these, including colour and light help the designer to create our visually pleasing environment. The creator of a well-planed and well-executed design is able to analyze the use of space, line, shape and mass, texture, light, colour, and pattern.

The Work of a Designer

Costume designers create the look of each character by designing clothes and accessories the actors will wear in performance. Depending on their style and complexity, costumes may be made, bought, revamped out of existing stock or rented. Their designs need to reflect faithfully the personalities of the characters in the script. The shapes, colours and textures that a costume designer chooses make an immediate and powerful visual statement to the audience. Creative collaboration among the costume designer, the director, the set and lighting designers ensures that the costumes are smoothly integrated into the production as a whole.

Stage costumes can provide audiences with information about a character's occupation, social status, gender, age, sense of style and tendencies towards conformity or individualism. As well costumes can:

- reinforce the mood and style of the production

- distinguish between major and minor characters

- suggest relationships between characters

- change an actor's appearance

- suggest changes in character development and age

- be objects of beauty in their own right.

Costume designs also need to include any accessories such as canes, hats, gloves, shoes, jewellery or masks. These costume props add a great deal of visual interest to the overall costume design. They are often the items that truly distinguish one character from another.

Costume designers begin their work by reading the script to be produced. If the production is set in a specific historical era the fashions of this period will need to be researched. To stimulate the flow of ideas at the first meeting with the director and the design team (set, costume, lighting and sound designers) the costume designer may present a few rough costume sketches. This is also an appropriate time to check with the director on the exact number of characters requiring costumes. It is the costume designer's responsibility to draw up the costume plot. The costume plot is a list or chart that shows which characters appear in each scene, what they are wearing and their overall movement throughout the play. This helps to track the specific costume needs of every character. It can also identify any potential costume challenges, such as very quick changes between scenes. When the director and production team have approved the costume designer's preliminary sketches she or he can draw up the final costume designs. The final designs are done in full colour. They show the style, silhouette, textures, accessories and unique features of each costume. Once the show opens the designer's work is essentially complete. Now it's normally for the job of a wardrobe assistant to be sure that every aspect of the production runs just as the designer intended.
