Visual Rhythm

Visual rhythm is the repeated or patterned arrangement of visual elements—such as shapes, colors, lines, or textures—in a composition. It creates a sense of movement and flow, guiding the viewer’s eye smoothly across the artwork or design. Like the beat in music, visual rhythm establishes a tempo or pulse, making the visual experience engaging and cohesive. It can be regular, like evenly spaced stripes, or more varied, like a dynamic, unpredictable pattern, but always serves to organize elements and evoke a sense of harmony or energy within the visual space.
