PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
A relaxed and casual rhythm is created here with the repetition of color and employment of organic forms and texture.
UNI T Y, RHY THM AND HARMONY Rhythm is created through the repetition of color, line, form and texture; carefully positioned in the room. These elements move the eye around a room either comfortably or in a jumpy manner. Like the various rhythms associated with music, visual rhythm moves the eye at a variety of tempos. A slow relaxed rhythm can be created with connection of color and lines. A faster allegro rhythm can be created by the vivid contrast of light and dark, by lines that abruptly change direction or which are broken and scattered around a room. Too much unity can be boring; too much variety can create anxiety. Finding the proper balance of each with the other is the key to good design.
