- jfoutz 10y agorhythm, or perhaps repetition is one of the core tenants of graphic design. Once you start looking for it, you'll see it lots of places. It's kind of like the wilhelm scream sound effect. It's not hard to find strong examples, but most stuff is divided into a natural harmonic, 1/3 1/4 or 1/5. movie posters are an easy example. Anywho, google helps a bit, [1]. So, yes, you're absolutely right. it's just quite a bit more widespread than typography [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=rhythm+in+painting&espv=2&biw=1116&bih=761&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X https://www.google.com/search?q=rhythm+in+painting&espv=2&bi...
- bobwaycott 10y agoNerdy nit: you mean to use the word tenets, not tenants. :)
- nailer 10y agoYes but that just uses it in the commonly understood sense of repetition. And you can very obviously achieve vertical and horizontal repetition using flex. Either they have a more specific meaning or they're trying to say something that's not quite apparent.
