Rhythm

During the first lecture when we got to the section labeled "Rhythm," I was captivated by the image of multiple rows of cars. I kept wondering what was so captivating about this image and other images like it that I found. The rhythm found within these images is visually stimulating and very pleasing to the eye, but why? In the slide with the cars it says that, "Balance and rhythm work together to create designs that are vital, achieving both stability and surprise." So maybe the stability is the key, but I needed more explanation so I searched the

internet. Webdesignfromscratch.com has an article about the concept of rhythm from a web organization standpoint. They explain that “once you’ve decoded even one or two examples [of headline styles], your brain creates a rule or pattern on the fly you then use that rule to recognize and interpret subsequent example of the header.” Our brains like patterns that repeat because they allow it to easily decipher the meaning of images and information, making it pleasant to look at.
