Definition:
1. a repetition of similar visual elements
2. not simply a grouping of similar things of similar visual elements
3. direction

finding the vantage point is the key to success with pattern

If a picture is well defined, patterns can give a strong sense of organization to our picture and move the viewers's eye in a meaningful way

looking for pattens and looking for differences in pattens is an another strategy that can lead you to interesting outcomes

visual elements are only parts of the picture not the content of the picture. If the picture is just made of those visual elements, that's boring.

We can bring some different pattens together to create a whole new meaning.

Color: rainbow of meanings

blue+green=harmounious cool colors

limit color palette to just two or three distinct hues. Look for one contrasting color in a field that is made up of otherwise unified colors. Such as one color jump out from a generally neutral toned colored feld.

a lot of visual weight, if a spot of constracting color scream out for our attention

instead of looking for constrasting colors, monochromatic(made up of one color) is scenes that we are looking for. A very 3 dimentional sculptural figure in a constructed background setting can be preceived as being quite flat

Wirh digital photography, we can alter the colors of the scene itself. We can do that by altering the white balance or the color sensetivity

1.the organization of visual elements guide the viewer's gaze across the image.
2.the visual elements weight themselves.
