Unity

     Unity can be found throughout this image. Proximity and grouping can be seen through the interlocking of the recurring fish shape. The fish are contained in a rectangle. The rectangle is gradated and used equally in the different fish.

     This image is very unified. The repetition of red rectangles and their proximity to one another contained in the over all rectangular shape. The gradation of the of red and yellow into one another provides another element of unity, continuation.

     This image shows strong unity in many ways. Unity is shown through a repetition of the star shape and the three colors. Continuation, is also used in the continued growth of the star from the center. As the audience we believe the star shape continues beyond the outer rectangle containing the design.

Variety

     This image shows a great deal of "variety" in its subject matter.  There are many different styles of fonts being used and an incredible amount of illustrations of all sorts of things.  The world created in this illustration reminds me of a chaotic black and white toontown.  The theme presented is of a commercial music wonderland, full of its trappings and cliches. It is very hard to find a focal point of the design.  However the theme of music and the coloring are unified throughout, and the script in the top left hand corner leads me to believe this is a search and find for Ozzy Osbourne. If that is the case this is fun and accomplishes its goal of hiding, Ozzy.
