Using many different shapes and object throught the design while still being able to unify it. The quilt above shows this use of variety to unify the overall design.

22) Unity through Continuity

Is starting out with and idea in a design and continueing that all throughout the design. The image of a magazine spread shows this continuity of the design in the two pages.

21) Unity through Continuation

Is continueing the design by using elements that keep your eye moving through the design. The image above shows this continuation by the figures forming a circular ring.

20) Unity through Repetition

Giving the design unity by repeating a shape over and over throughout the design. The image above shows this repetition by repeationg the same object in the figure.

19) Unity through Proximity

Is grouping object in the design giving it unity by bringing things close together. The image shows this by grouping the men together in the mid-ground of the image.

18) Visual Texture

Is the ability of the artist to convey texture in the design without being able to feel it. This image shows this texture by the way the ladies dress crinkles at the end.

14) Curvilinear Shapes

Are shapes that curve and flow on the design instead of ridiged square shapes. The design shown uses these circular shapes to give a feeling of flow.

13) Rectilinear Shapes

Are shapes that protray rectangles and squares all through out the design. The design shown repeats these rectangular shapes throughout the image.

12) Nonobjective Shapes

Are shapes that do not protray a real life object to make a design but rather still forms a design just not a identifiable one.

11) Abstraction
