33. Progressive Rhythm

The repeating fence posts create a rhythm pattern. As the posts get further away from the viewer, they become closer together and smaller in appearance.

32. Absence of Focal Point

In this image there is no particular focal point that our eyes are drawn to. All of the figures are independent of the space around each other.

31. Degree of Emphasis (list the primary, secondary and tertiary Focal Point)

30. Emphasis by Placement

Because all of the pencils are pointing to the center smiley face, it becomes the emphasis of the picture. This has to do with the placement of the pencils and the smiley face. Our eyes are naturally drawn to arrows and directional cues.

29. Emphasis by Isolation

The cat on the far left instantly grabs our attention because he is away from the crowded group of other cats. He stands out and his idividuality makes him the emphasis of the picture.

28. Emphasis by Contrast (list type of contrast you select)

In this image, the greyed out woman has emphasis over the colored figures because she is different. This is a color contrast. Had she been the same color as the others, there would be no emphasis in the image.

27. Crystallographic Balance (aka All Over Pattern)

This is an all-over pattern which gives it a natural sense of balance due to the constant repetitive image. It is predictable and there for considered balanced.
