Repetition Proportion
Sometimes an object's visual weight demands that it be displayed alone. Anything that is large, dark, bright, boldly patterned, or oddly shaped will look heavier and bigger than an item that is small, pale, solid, and predictably shaped
Weight
A symmetrical arrangement (where each half of an arrangement is the mirror image of the other)
Balance
You can create a dramatic and dynamic pattern with repetition of a simple object. The unity of squares first catches your eye; only upon closer inspection do you notice each square.
Proportion is the size relationship between items, and analyzing proportion helps us make visual sense of our environment. Though the total area of the top grouping is large, it is less overpowering than a single piece
