Unity in through my Eyes

Proximity: This is a photo I took of my boyfriend and his parent's pups (up on Camel's Hump).  I think it is a good representation of proximity because Jake and the dogs are all grouped together, giving the viewer the idea that there is some unity- that they belong in a photo together.

Repetition with an Emphasis on Similarity: This poster design is a good representation of repetition with similarity because it repeats the image of a fairy playing the keyboard in order to suggest unity and make a statement.  (Source: Poster Art by Charlotte Rivers) The magazine page with a spread of photographs does the same.

Repetition with Variety: This image demonstrates repetition with variety in that it repeats similar shapes (squares and rectangles) and ideas (signs) along with a cohesive color palette while using different shapes, sizes and types of signs. (Source: Poster Art by Charlotte Rivers)

Continuation: This poster design uses continuation to create unity by using lines to connect different elements, thus allowing the eye to move smoothly across the page.  It also uses a grid pattern to create organization. (Source: Poster Art by Charlotte Rivers)

Grid: This magazine spread of a snowboarder (who happens to be my boyfriend...I think I might like him or something...) uses a grid pattern to organize the sequential shots of a pow slash. (Source: Frequency Magazine)

Chaotic Design: This is a friend of mine's painting and to me it is chaotic and difficult to follow.  In my opinion, the eye isn't really drawn to on particular area and nothing stands out as trying to convey a message or feeling.  What do you think?

 Non-objective Expression of Unity: This wood block by one of my favorite artists, Sabra Field, portrays unity by using similar colors in the sky and landscape.  The blue, yellow and black tones make sense in the picture and bring everything together beautifully.  I also love the unity between the stars in the sky and lights in the house- two things so different but very much the same.

Figurative Expression of Unity:  To me, this is a great example of a figurative expression of unity because it using similiar shapes (rectangles) in the same column pattern throughout the page, giving the impression of unity.  (Source: Poster Art by Charlotte Rivers)
