Why? Where? What? How? in Design

Ask yourself the following when writing on a Design:

Why? The reason for the design; meaning or the commission (the brief)

Where? The composition of the design, Eg. a neck-piece, a painting, a chair etc.

What? The principles that are being employed; balance, proportion, repetition, dominance, contrast, direction, harmony, variety

How? The principles are demonstrated through the elements; line, shape, form, space, tone, colour, texture
