| Pattern/Repetition

|
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.
