Proximity:

The 3 ladies close together are a great example of proximity.

Repetition (emphasis on similarity):

This Warhol piece featuring Marilyn Monroe shows repetition with an emphasis on similarity. Her image repeated over and over makes this happen.

Repetition (emphasis on variety):

The similar square pattern with no color pattern shows repetition with an emphasis on variety.

Continuation:

The leaf crossing the 'H' show good use of continuation.

The grid as organizing factor:

The grid of signage and buildings make good use of the grid in the city.

An example of a chaotic, unreadable image:

There is no real organization in the picture shown here. It seems to me to be almost evil looking. I like it!

An example of a non-objective expression of unity:

The signs gathering in the middle of the circle show unity.

An example of a figurative expression of unity:

The 4 ladies arm in arm are showing the figurative unity.

  1. Hi Scott,
    I like your chaotic image. It makes a kind of sense to me because of the repeated shapes and colors.
