We get patterns when the elements of shape, line and color repeat themselves in a scene. You
can find patterns almost everywhere. Patterns are all around. Look at Figure 20. Can you
identify the repeated design elements in the six photographs? The veins of a leaf, cables, cut
oranges, roof tiles, glass windows and chain fences are some examples of ordinary everyday
things that may be arranged to form patterns.
If you fill the whole frame with the same pattern, you get a very strong visual impact.
Patterns give a sense of regularity, rhythm and predictability to your composition.
