I found this gem located next to the water fountain in the CUE
For the theme of Rhythm and Balance within the book I found this flyer to represent a good balance of the use of ink, layout, and design on the page. The image of the blue lotus “anchors and activates elements in space”(49), in this case blank space vs. color. As the viewer my eyes do not linger on one specific corner of the flyer because the blue water colors bleed out (across and down) forcing the eyes to take in all parts of the design. When I look at this image I see that the visual is centered so as to be proportionately placed (form and space have equal weight on both sides). And as for rhythm this image exemplifies variation and change with a printed flower over water colors, and has different fonts that show a variety of formats and scales. With the end result working great together to achieve unity. It creates the appeal of “Stability and surprise”(49).
