red contrasts with black.... texture:
rough contrasts with smooth. Variety
expresses numbers or differences,
different kinds of elements or
content. Unity
expresses the appearance of oneness
or harmony that every design requires.
Emphasis
is the effect of bringing some
parts out or making prominent
or dominant. Integration
is when parts appear to fit together
and have a sense of oneness.Tension
results when elements do not fit
harmoniously; but cause opposition
or dissonance. Tension happens
when line movement paths crash
into another path Similarity
of elements is the main method
of making the composition harmonize.Harmony
is the feeling of apparent correctness
of having parts appear to belong
together and to work together
visually in a pleasant way. There
is sufficient variety to cause
the forms to be interesting and
not boring but not so same and
unvaried as to become boring.
