Pattern/Repetition

Pattern Journal page.jpg (2163087 bytes)

Painting is the pattern of one's own nervous system being projected on canvas. (Francis Bacon) Subject matter is not nearly as important as the arrangement of the elements into a pattern. Thus the abstraction that contains no recognizable object may be a satisfying work of art. (Ted Kautsky)

Repetitive elements throughout a design piece can be used to enhance and clarify information. Repetition adds visual interest to your design, and helps to identify elements that belong together. It can be considered a way of adding consistency to your design.

The consistent repetition of graphic elements works to create visual unity. These elements can be as simple as color, spatial relationships, a shape, a texture or a typeface. Sometimes repetitive elements are not identical in appearance but are in fact so similar that their connection is clear.
