• Extremely helpful for interior designers

• Gives the feel of calmness and simplicity

Value

  ^Light Value^

• Has a higher brightness in exposure and color

  ^Dark Value^

• Has a lower exposure in light and color

  ^Value Pattern^

• The arrangement of these chairs make one in the shade and one in direct sunlight

^Value as emphasis^

• Very light colors throughout the picture but yet some objects still pop out (act as an accent)
• The bookcase's glass, the blue rug, and the painting of the woman all stand out

Motion

  ^Stillness Action^

• Although nothing in the picture is moving, it is understood that the trees are still blowing in the wind.

^Arrested Action^

• The water although is still, it is assumed that it is moving

Three ways to show motion 

^Cropped image^

• The car is understood to be moving since part of it is cropped out of the image.

^Repetition^

• A repeated object going through the motions as if a picture was not being taken.

  ^Blurred image^

• By the blurring in the image, she is obviously moving pretty fast on that treadmill.

Space

^Multiple Perspective^

• Many ending focal points 
• In the roof, walls, and fences

  ^Open Form^

• Gives a more open feel in a room while providing more room.
• More sought after than the closed form version

^Closed Forms^

• Feels more constricted since every wall is closed in
• Doesn't flow as well as the open floor concept

^Transparency^

• This window acts as a wall but gives the ability to still see what is behind it.
• Provides more light for rooms
