UNITY AND VARIETYUNITY
Unity can be defined as similarity, oneness, togetherness or cohesion
VARIETYVariety can be defined as difference. You create variety when elements are changed.
Learning to find the right balance between unity and variety is the key to a visually successful work.
COMPOSITION IS AN ART AND NOT A SCIENCE

Unity and variety are the cornerstones of composition, combined effectively the composition is both cohesive and active.

GESTALTGESTALT Gestalt Psychology emphasizes the importance
of unity, connection and completion.
THEORY:THEORY:
VISUAL INFORMATION IS UNDERSTOOD AS A WHOLE BEFORE IT IS EXAMINED
SEPARATELY.

proximity

PROXIMITY can create FUSION
FUSION = POSITIVE / NEGATIVE SPACE
FUSION WITH GRADATION OR TRANSPARENCY CAN DISSOLVE THE LINE BETWEEN POSITIVE / NEGATIVE SPACE

CONTINUITYThe fluid connection among compositional parts.
Skillful use of continuity can add visual movement to a design.

CLOSURE:THE HUMAN MIND WILL
AUTOMATICALLY CONNECT VISUAL FRAGMENTS
Closure makes it possible to communicate using implication

PATTERNS AND GRIDS
• Pattern is created when any visual element is systematically repeated over an extended area.
• Grid is created through a series of intersecting lines.

The orientation of objects within an
image can influence the visual weight of the piece.
