Proportion involves the relationship of size between objects. Proportion is also relative sizes of surface areas of different colors. Proportion also depends on functionality of object. Art painting can be given the correct size in relation to room to make it an effective decorating component or source of color.


To maximize the relationship between design elements proportion andscale are typically used. Scale controls object size while proportion manages size ratio. Both make sure everything is well balanced and ensure a smooth and eye-catching design

Featured below is an image i photoshopped.  I made the moon much larger, sort of like the example featured above, the photo below is completely changed now that the moon is much larger. before, the buildings were the subject and the moon just made the picture too busy. rather than the emphasis being on the buildings, it is now on the moon, and the buildings just compliment it.
