Figurative expression of unity

This example represents figurative expression of unity. The women in the flowing dresses seem to "interconnect" in a way that creates unity in the image. The women themselves are connected by the crossing of arms and touching of hips.

Non-objective expression of unity

This is an image of non-objective unity. There is no specific representation of a person, place or thing, but rather a usage of shapes and colors that are arranged to meet in the cneter of the piece. It creates unity with the placement of the colored shapes in a repeating pattern.

Unreadable chaos

This image was found on a music website that was having a contest for the winner to be able to interpret what the logo says. This is actually a logo of a hevy metal band! This to me is a  very obvious usage of chaotic and unreadable imagery. I have no idea what this says..can you figure it out ??

Grids and organizing factors

As we all know this is a rubiks cube. I found this to be a grid with an organizational pattern. The blocks of colors are set up in a grid pattern to create a specific design of color patterns on each side. Each block of the cube is to be manipulated to create a solid color pattern for each side.

Continuation

This image is from a furniture designer's website. I found examples of continuation with the color patterns but it is really emphasized with the edge pattern of the piece that draws your eye to follow the pattern almost like you are following a maze pattern.

Repetition and variety

In this image you see an example of repetition with emphasis on variety. This image is a sample of artowrk found in a website called Ameliyah Designs. This design concept uses repetition with the continual pattern of the metal tins set in rows, but the varieation is in the usage of the colors and patterns set within the tins.

Similar repetition

This is an example of repetition with emphasis on similarity. This is a picture of what appears to be a walkway of sorts. As you can see the repeating sections of the archway and the lanterns on the walls. This pattern is an obvious usage of repetition but you can also see the unity it creates by the flowing design.

Proximity

This is an example of a proximity/unity design concept. This photograph is a bunch of stones covered in crochet. I found this on a website that showed a variety of different pieces for sale by various artists. I believbe this represents unity through proximity because it draws your attention to the "mass" of the objects.

2-dimensional design ideas

I think a really cool idea or concept for something in 2-dimensional design would be something with a "tribal" design. I have always found tribal designs especially tattoo work to be really interesting. I have a couple tribal tattoos myself and would like to get more !!
