Progression occurs when there is a gradual increase or decrease in the size, number, colour, or some other quality of the elements repeated.
Example
A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements, and often the elements themselves, are similar in size or length
example: Repeating letters, Shapes or colours AB ... AB ... ab ... Ab ... ab ...
Rhythm is a visual tempo or beat and is also called movement. It is often achieved through the careful placement of repeated components which invite the viewer's eye to jump rapidly or jump smoothly from one point to another.
There are 5 types of rhythm but we will only be focusing on 4 in your Logo project.
Rhythm, Repetition, and Pattern
Repeating art elements in regular or cyclical fashion are used to create movement, interest, and/or harmony and unity.
Patterns are groups of elements or motifs that repeat in a predictable manner.
Repeated use of a shape, color, or other art element or design in a work can help unify different parts into a whole and is called repetition. The repetition might be limited to only an instance or two: not enough to create a pattern or rhythm, but enough to cause a visual echo and reinforce or accent certain aspects of the work.
Rhythms can be regular, random, progressive, flowing or alternating. Classes of motifs or patterns include mosaics, lattices, spirals, meanders, symmetry and fractals among others.
Two or more different motifs may be alternated, such as the black and red squares in a checkerboard; a single motif might be flipped, mirrored or rotated every so many iterations; or the placement or spacing between motifs can be alternated.
This is essentially a regular rhythm that has more complex motifs, or meta-motifs. The added variety can help lessen the monotony of a regular rhythm.
Example ABA - CBC - EFE - ABA - CBC - EFE
Time to put what you've learned into action!
Using your logo design create each a motif (pattern) for the 4 rhythm types on your worksheet!
Remember to hand it in!
Random Rhythm is created when groupings of similar patterns or elements that repeat with no regularity create a random rhythm. Pebble beaches, the fall of snow, fields of clover, herds of cattle, and traffic jams all demonstrate random rhythms.
What may seem random at one scale, however, may exhibit purpose and order at another scale.
