54. Information graphics or infographics are graphic
visual representations of information, data or
knowledge. These graphics present complex

at a glance. People use infographics to quickly
communicate a message, to simplify the
presentation of large amounts of data, to see data
patterns and relationships, and to monitor changes
in variables over time.

67. Center of
Interest
It is an area that first
attracts attention in a
composition. This area is
more important when
compared to the other
objects or elements in a
composition. This can be
by contrast of values,
more
colors,
and
placement in the format.
68. It is a feeling of visual equality in shape, form, value,
color, etc. Balance can be symmetrical or evenly
balanced or asymmetrical and un-evenly balanced.
Balance
69. Harmony
It brings together a
composition with similar
units. If your composition
was using wavy lines and
organic shapes you would
stay with those types of
lines and not put in just
one geometric shape.
70. Contrast
It offers some change in
value creating a visual
discord in composition.
Contrast shows the
difference
between
shapes and can be used
as a background to bring
objects and forward in
design. It can be also be
used to create an area of
emphasis.
71. Directional
Movement
It is a visual flow through the
composition. It can be the
suggestion of motion in a design
as you move from object to object
by way placement and position.
Directional movement can be
created with a value pattern. It is
with placement of dark and light
areas that you can move your
attention through the format.
72. It is a movement in which some elements recurs
regularly. Like a dance it will have a flow of objects
that will seem to be like the beat of music.
Rhythm
