An alternating rhythm consists of an alternating motif consistently to produce an anticipated sequence. This repetition is seen in this example, where the bricks produce an expected pattern.

33. Progressive Rhythm
In progressive rhythm, a sense of rhythm is achieved through repetition of a shape that changes in a regular manner, creating a feeling of sequential pattern. This photograph illustrates this rhythm due to the repetition of the bar structures. There is variation through the progressive change of angles in the structures.

Emphasis by Placement
Another technique to create emphasis is by placement. In this, it is obvious that if something is placed in the center of the image, it is emphasized. But also an object can be off center and pull attention directly to itself. In this photograph, the lounge chair is not only emphasized by the contrasting color, but it also pulls attention by the off centered placement.

29. Emphasis by Isolation
Isolation is another technique of emphasis by contrast. When an object or aspect of an image is separated from the majority, the eye is often drawn to that isolated object. In this photo, the white squares in the window are mostly bunched in the bottom portion. However, the one white square in the top right corner stands alone, and coincidentally is also emphasized by the contrast of value against the surrounding black panels.

29. Emphasis by Contrast
There are several different techniques to emphasize through contrast. However, in this particular example, the majority of the image is white, therefore the bright red brick pops out instantly.

27. Crystallographic Balance
Crystallographic Balance refers to an all over patter, or a constant repetition of the same quality everywhere on the surface. This very simplistic photo illustrates this effect. All over patterns can be found everywhere, like a brick wall for instance. It creates a symmetrical balance.
26. Radial Balance
In radial balance, all the elements radiate or circle out from a common central point. A wheel of a bicycle is an example of this balance because the spokes of the wheel radiate outward from the center, evenly and with pattern.
