Rhythm  Rhythm can be described as timed movement

through space; an easy, connected path along which the eye follows a regular arrangement of motifs. The presence of rhythm creates predictability and order in the composition.

Emphasis  Emphasis is also referred to as point of focus, or

interruption. It marks the locations in a composition which most strongly draw the viewers’ attention. Usually there is a primary or main point of emphasis, with perhaps secondary emphasis in other parts of the composition.

Unity  Unity is the underlying principle that summarizes all

of the principles and elements of design. It refers to the coherence of the whole, the sense that all of the parts are working together to achieve common result: a harmony of all the parts.
