PRINCIPLE of DESIGN: VARIETY
SURVIVOR VOTE
CUBISM and CUBIST COLLAGE
"Unity and variety are complementary concerns.
Unity is the appearance or condition of oneness. In design, unity describes the feeling that all the elements in a work belong together and make up a coherent and harmonious whole. When a work of art has unity, we feel that any change would diminish its quality.
Variety, on the other hand, provides diversity. Variety acts to counter unity. The sameness of too much unity is boring, and the diversity of uncontrolled variety is chaotic, but a balance between unity and variety creates life.
