Different pictures on them representing different visual textures but yet kept in one category as they are similar or related but not same 6. A theme however, is a melody that is repeated or on which variations are constructed. Hillman Curtis places theme almost above every thing else in a design.

Ways to achieve unity Proximity: Elements that are physically close, are considered related. Similarity: Elements that are related should share similar position, size, color, shape, or texture Repetition and Rhythm: Recurring position, size, color, and use of a graphic element shows unity. When the repetition has a focal point interruption it is considered rhythm. Theme with variation: Altering the basic theme achieves unity and helps keep interest. .Theme with variation: Altering the basic theme achieves unity and helps keep interest. 17.
