Rhythm

Rhythm is visual, carrying the eye through a regular pattern produced by design elements.

    • Repetition: a pattern repeats, as with rows or strips
    • Radiation: lines or patterns flow from a central location.  The gathers in a skirt show this effect.
    • Gradation: a pattern changes gradually, as in a change in size or color.
