            I took this picture at an American Eagle Outfitters store. It is a display they had near the entrance of their store.  This display shows unity and balance because the mannequins displayed are A-symmetrical and pleasing to the eye. The display is shown as a whole. The display shows harmony with the striped shirts. They are well laid on the glass table and as well on the mannequin. The repetition is shown in the coral color starting in the pants of the middle mannequin and continuing on the scarf of the right side mannequin, in the shoes in the middle of the display and finally on the striped shirt on the bottom left. Repetition is also shown with the strips through the whole display, with the shirts lying on the table and on the left mannequin.
            Rhythm is displayed with the placement of the mannequins they are well balanced with one in the middle being taller than the others than leading your eye back down to the other two mannequins. The emphasis is placed on the mannequin in the middle. The colors on that mannequin are brighter and draws your eye to those items first. The contrast is placed on the mannequin in the middle with the bright color of the shirt and pants than the dark jacket placed on top of that. As well as the right mannequin with the printed skirt with the basic white tank paired with it. There is also contrast on the bottom glass table with the striped shirts placed along side of the flowered printed skirt.
