These foundations are summarized in three points:
Visual Vacuum:-

Balance in Composition:-
This is shown by satisfaction with the general form of the design, and the equilibrium is a condition in which the elements composing the design are distributed evenly
Design Unity :-
The design unity is the result of the layout of multiple nested elements in the artwork , and focus on defining the relationships between these elements to be based on a rule that makes the design Feels quite comfortable with all the elements within it , as lines and colors play a prominent role in linking design units and collecting them in a unified configuration, the design unity is shown by having relationships connecting the constituent parts of the design such as:
- -Correlation by parallel
- – correlation by color
- – correlation by formalism
- – Correlation by spatial convergence
