Principals of Design In nature

Alignment

Ants marching in a line can be an example of alignment.

Shape

Proximity

Proximity can be seen in the pattern on the coat of a giraffe. There are many spots on giraffe that are different distances apart.

Repetition

Repetition can can be seen in many different types of leaves. In this picture, the leaf pattern is being repeated.

Balance

Many leaves are symmetrical. If you fold this leaf in half, it will fold over perfectly.

Asymmetrical

Some leaves are not symmetrical. If you fold one half of this leaf over on the other, it will not match.

Rule of Thirds

In a picture, there are often equal amounts of empty space on either side of the main object, but in this picture, there are not equal amounts of empty space on both sides. This shows rule of thirds.

White space

In this picture there is an example of white space.

Negative Space

A clear sky is an example of negative space in nature.
