A PERCEPTUAL STUDY. The following is a perceptual study of examples demonstrating (combinations of) primary and secondary design elements and principles. • Element(s): Line; Shape; Size/Scale • Principle(s): Alignment; Repetition; Proximity; Balance/(A)symmetry 1) Primary - Element / Principal: Line / Proximity Secondary - Elements(s) / Principle(s): Shape, Size/Scale / Alignment, Repetition, (A)symmetry  2) Primary -   Element / Principal:  Line / Repetition Secondary -  Elements(s) / Principle(s):  Shape, Size / Alignment, Proximity, Asymmetry 3) Primary -   Element / Principal:  Shape / Repetition Secondary -  Elements(s) / Principle(s):  Size/Scale / Proximity, Asymmetry   4) Primary -   Element / Principal:  Shape / Repetition Secondary -  Elements(s) / Principle(s): / Alignment, Proximity, Balance/symmetry  5) Primary -   Element / Principal:  Shape / Alignment Secondary -  Elements(s)...

This example is a layer-masking composite,  created from 4 individual stock images :   lightbulb; in the verticle position, over white background, water splash; (from a standard full-frame photograph) shot at surface level, goldfish; from a (previously rendered) transparency. spigot, with a water stream The illusion is created using image manipulation software to demonstrate the seamless merging of separate elements into one.   To further the illusion, a 'reflection' was generated  to add greater dimension.
