EXAMPLES

viscom — 2025-02-23 22:09:53 UTC

This image fits well under Pattern because it has elements of cube forms that repeat. I also like how the pattern occasionally alternates and isn't consistent.

EXAMPLE

viscom — 2025-02-23 22:09:53 UTC

The white lines on the black background create the image of a chair showing contrast

EXAMPLE

viscom — 2025-02-23 22:09:53 UTC

This picture has to do with emphasis because there is one thing standing out in the photo

EXAMPLE: Relative

viscom — 2025-02-23 22:09:53 UTC

EXAMPLE- Asymmetrical

viscom — 2025-02-23 22:09:53 UTC

The balance is how the fish are exact mirror representations of each other like the spots are different the tails are a little different. etc

EXAMPLE

viscom — 2025-02-23 22:09:53 UTC

This one is an example of proportion as it shows the size of the person compared to the landscape

EXAMPLE

viscom — 2025-02-23 22:09:53 UTC

Each of these represent stand-alone compositions that can represent Harmony, often having a central, or radiating point where designs move the eye outwards.

EXAMPLE

viscom — 2025-02-23 22:09:53 UTC

The bicycle has literal movement and directional movement that leads the eye to the left edge of the composition.

Pattern

melissamedina28 — 2025-02-26 16:21:01 UTC

this image fits well under pattern because it has elements of parallelogram forms that repeat. I also like the gradient some of the shapes have it gives it dimension.

Contrast
