There are five kinds of rhythm: random, regular, alternating, progressive, and flowingthe way the elements are organised to lead the eye to the focal area. Movement can be directed for example, along edges and by utilising shape and colour. Harmony The arrangement of elements to give the viewer the feeling that all the parts of the piece form a coherent whole. Proportion/Scale The relationship between objects concerning size, number, and so on, including the relation between parts of a whole. Balance A feeling of balance results when the elements of design are arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically to create the impression of equality in weight or importance. Emphasis Particular attention/importance given to one part of a work of art for example, a dark shape in a light composition . Emphasis can be achieved through placement, contrast, colour, size and repetition. contrast The juxtaposition of different design elements for example, rough and smooth textures, dark and light values to highlight their differences and/or create visual interest, or a focal point. Pattern A regular arrangement of altered or repeated elements shapes, lines, colours or motifs. Enhance your next project with these uniquely styled posters!
