Principles Of Design *** Rhythm

Rhythm is a repeted motion, something that continues at an even pace or is evenly placed. Rhythm can also play tricks on your eyes.

This field above shows rhythm because the fences are evnly spaced apart to contain the green plants.

This picture above shows how rhythm can cause you to see the picture move when it isn't moving at all.

Principles Of Design *** Assymetrical Balance

Assymetrical balance is when a picture seems balance but when you divide the page/image in half, both sides are different but the denseness and the multiple objects can balance each other out.

The waterfall shows asymmetrical balance because both sides are balanced out by the other waterfalls.



This picture above shows assymetrical balance. Ichose this picture because at first glance it looks like it is symmetrical but a closer look tells you that there are significant differences in the image. For example, at the bottom, one side has an avatar while the other has some deadly creature.



Principles Of Design *** Symmetry

Symmetry is when a picture can be cut through the middle and both halves of the picture would be the same.



The Egyptian Sphinx was built so that it was symmetrical, see if you draw a line through the middle of it, both sides would be the same.

 

This immage is symmetrically divided at the points where the water meets land. Both sides, if it could be folded, would be exactly the same.



Harmony is when somethings go well with each other, for example, things that complement each other or are total opposites like the Yin and Yan.



This picture shows harmony because as you can see on first glance, they go well together and even though they are opposites (fire and water) they compliment each other.
