Types of rhythm Repetition
is the systematic orderly succession of identical design elements (shape, line, color, form) along a defined path in space.
Alternation
occurs when two design elements are repeated in sequence but the pattern includes two distinctly different elements as opposed to one element repeating.
Progression
involves the repetition of similar elements with a continuous change (large to small, narrow to wide, light to dark).
Color continuation
refers to the placement of one or more colors throughout an interior to create a continuous movement of the eye through the space.
