29. Emphasis by Isolation


(Okay, so this image is a little weird, sorry.)
The erm, arm in this panel is isolated on the right side of the panel, away from the character on the left.

28. Emphasis by Contrast


The background in this panel consists of dark valued blues. The tower and the floating object bright white, causing obvious contrast between the objects and the background. The drastic contrast draws the viewer's eyes to both white objects and emphasizes them.

27. Crystallographic Balance


The pattern in this image is an "all-over" pattern. Attention is not drawn to any specific element, instead the focus is balanced throughout the image.

26. Radial Balance


Both the large black and white object and the background behind it establish radial balance. The gray center of the spiked ball is in the center of the panel as well as the center of the circles. Even after the ball is removed, the brown stone rings echo from the center of the panel to the edges, creating balance.

25. Asymmetrical Balance


Although the human face is typically symmetrical, the boy's hair and hood are not the same on both sides. Since the character takes up most of this panel, balance is easily established, but the asymmetrical nature of the balance makes the panel more interesting to view.

24. Symmetrical Balance


The character in this panel is symmetrical, and the trees also provide symmetrical balance.

23. Unity With Variety


What unifies this image is the cloaks the goofy animals are wearing. The similarity of the way the cloaks are drawn brings the piece together, but the pattern of the cloaks vary.
