19) Unity

Putting elements close together is a way to make separate elements look as though they belong together called proximity. The picture below makes these women appear to be part of a group because of the fact that they are huddled together in the middle of the piece.

Another way that can create a strong sense of unity would be to repeat shapes, the shapes will seem as though they belong together because they are the same shape, for instance the image below.

A very subtle way to create unity would be through continuation, this route consists of one shape leading into the next which leads the viewers eye through your piece and unifies it.

Continuity is yet another form of unity which can often denote the visual relationship between two or more designs. An example of this is shown below in which each frame is used to show a certain instance in a time frame which is all unified because they are all part of the same story.
