This chapter talks about patterns, and how they are derived from isolated elements, linear elements, and the mixing of the two to create a pattern. It also mentions that the key to creating a pattern is repetition and without repetition there is no pattern.
 

Elements of GD #3. Point, Line, Plane

 

This chapter talked about the importance of point, line and planes in art. It also mentions that points can be used to create lines and line to create planes. It mentions that a point marks a position in space and a line is a series of points as well as a plane being a flat surface of length and width created by lines.

Elements of GD #4

This chapter covered the importance of symmetry and asymmetry in design. This can be achieved through the balance of shape, the order in which it is placed and the rhythm in which the artist decides to lay out the design. 

Elements of GD #5 

This chapter covered the importance of Hierarchy in a design. This can be shown in many ways, whether it be the hierarchy of advertisements on a newspaper, or the importance of information being displayed in a poster. My example shows that Teston is the most important information in terms of hierarchy. 

Elements of GD #6

This chapter talked about Modularity and uniformity in art. It also showed a lot of examples of modularity in typography and the different art you can create using modularity and typography together.
