Alternating Rhythm

This consists of successive patterns in which the same elements reappear in a regular order. This pattern is a prime example because the same images are alternating to create a sequence.

Absence of Focal Point

The absence of focal point is when there isn't anything to focus on in the picture. In this picture there is literally nothing to focus on.

Emphasis by Isolation

Emphasis by isolation is created by placement. If you place an object apart from others, then it becomes the focal point. In this image, The shapes are all together except for the blue square. The viewer is instantly drawn to it because its by itself. This is emphasis by isolation.

Emphasis by Contrast

The focal point in this picture is clear because of the contrast in the image. The yellow sticks out from the black figures. The emphasis on the yellow is created by contrast.

Crystallographic Balance

Otherwise know as "allover pattern", crystallographic balance is a constant repetition of an image or pattern that covers an entire space to balance it all. Although the image is kind of odd, its a perfect example of crystallographic balance. The same image is repeated in a pattern all over to produce balance.

Radial Balance

Radial balance has elements that radiate or circle out from a central point. This is an example of radial balance. the design goes around in a circle with a common focal point ( the middle ).

Asymmetrical Balance

Asymmetrical means different on both sides. Add this with balance, and it refers to the balancing out of an image with dissimilar objects. I find this image to display asymmetrical balance quite well. Although the images on both sides are quiet different, all together it balances the image. There is one large piece on the left, and a few smaller pieces on the right.
