Neato Patterns
Okay, so I found some patterns that sort of look like the designs I'm working on.
This design reminds me of what I'm working on for my abstraction of broken glass, in that it places shapes together that are similar but not identical. What I like about this picture is that the sizes of each piece are varied.
This pattern places triangular shapes next to each, similar to how I am drawing triangles close together in one of my other designs. The colors in this pattern are a little brighter than I have in mind for mine though.

46. Illusion of Motion by Multiple Image
Animation smears are fairly common uses of the illusion of motion by multiple image. The smears create the illusion of extremely fast motion.

45. Illusion of Motion by Blurred Outline
While not blurred in the normal sense, the extra lines extending past the figure create a sketchier blur. The contours of the figure are not cleanly cut, and the motion lines create an illusion of motion.

44. Illusion of Motion by Repeated Figure
The sequence of panels shows the motion of this character as he gets hit by a, um, bucket.

43. Anticipated Motion
At the start of this animation, both figures are in positions that imply motion. Neither character is in a position that can be easily maintained (such as standing or sitting), so the viewer will naturally assume that some kind of motion will be carried out. In this instance, said motion occurs after a second or so.

42. Spacial Puzzles
The flat black background of this panel makes the foreground and background slightly hard to distinguish. This is not helped by the lack of contrast distinguishing between fore and background.

41. Multiple Perspective
The curves in this panel keep it from appearing linear. The view is not straight-on from only one angle.

40. Amplified Perspective
While not directly over this character's head, amplified perspective is still closely achieved. It is obvious that we are not viewing the character from straight ahead.

39. Illusion of Space by Linear Perspective
This straight-on view all vanishes to a single vanishing point.

38. Illusion of Space by Aerial Perspective
While the characters closest to the viewer have high contrast and are clearly defined, the figures farther back become grayed out. Even the buildings in the background are very low contrast.

37. Illusion of Space by Vertical Location
The objects that are placed higher on the panel are the objects that are farther away.

36. Illusion of Space by Overlapping
The overlap in this panel is mainly shown with the hand placement. The character in red is closer than the character in black, since the former's hand is placed on the latter's face.

35. Scale Confusion
The figure in the back appears the be about the same size as the castle in front. However, the figure is overlapped by objects in the foreground, meaning he is the farthest thing from the viewer. It is not logical that the figure be as large as a castle, but the viewer may be confused as to whether he is indeed that large or whether the castle is very small.

34. Alternating Rhythm
Right above the decorative arches on the bridges are a series of squares with dots within them. The pattern of these squares repeat in a predictable manner.

33. Progressive Rhythm
While not overtly progressive, the pattern of the tree branch does change as it continues. The size diminishes as it moves into the distance, and the twists and turns do not follow any real formula.

32. Absence of Focal Point
The collection of photos in this panel equally spreads the viewer's attention throughout the panel.

31. Degree of Emphasis
The primary focal point is the white figure, as the contrast of the white against the dark background causes him to stand out the most. The secondary focal point is the scope of the gun, because the line of the gun's sight leads from the figure to the scope. The tertiary focal point is the black figures face. The bright flashing colors contrast the black silhouette.

30. Emphasis by Placement
The central character in this panel has been placed in the middle. His placement draws attention to him and gives him the most emphasis.
