Homework 1

 
colorful pigeons amongst a flock of grey at the Venice
Image and Title By: Julian Charriere and Julius Von Bismark



In this image of these two colorfully dyed pigeons there are several types of visual

 unity that can easily be identified. For instance, since there is repetition of the pigeons

 we can immediately label them as the emphasis or otherwise known as the focal point

of the photo. Also due to the fact that the birds are in close proximity allows the

image to have strong continuity drawing the viewers eye from one bird to the other.

In all, this image has a certain harmony to it which makes it a very pleasing photo to

 view.

Visual unity- denotes some harmony or agreement between the items that is apparent to the eye

Gestalt- theory of visual psychology

Harmony- congruity or agreement exist among the elements in a design- look as like they belong together

Proximity- putting elements close together

Continuity- something continues usually a line, edge, or direction from one form to another

Repetition- something repeats in various parts of the design to relate to the parts of each other

Emphasis- or focal point- most important character or element

Chaos and control- there needs to be a level of unity unless an image can become too chaotic

The grid- a network of horizontal and vertical intersecting lines that the page creates a framework of areas
