Rhythm & Pattern

This refers to large numbers of design elements massed together with repetition being the order to the grouping.

Repetition has a very strong appeal and visually it comes across in two ways: as rhythm and pattern. 

Rhythm is to do with movement across a picture - movement of the eye more specifically. 

Pattern is static and has to do with area. 

We could look at them as dynamic repetition and static repetition. 

Here are my examples of rhythm and pattern.



Rhythm
The viewer is able to see cars and more arches through the arches which creats a dynamic tension.



Pattern
The pattern fills the frame and gives the reader visual clues that there is more windows in this building
