Tension - Relationship; Attraction / Repulsion; Space is primary tool; Similarity of opposites

Rhythm - Visual alternation of similar elements in space or time.

Flow - 

Emphasis - Visual hierarchy, created with contrast and flow; size, weight and form to make the reader focus.  Eliminate all that is not essential to the idea.  

Depth - shadows; black and grey; lighting

Balance - White space/ detail; small color / large grey; 

Scale - contrast in size; small = intimacy, precious; big = bold, in real life

Movement - creates urgency and energy; set on a diagonal, blur or streak visuals, visual vibration, 

Unity - single gestaltic moment of shared cognition,
