RHYTHM

Rhythm refers to the movement of all the elements working together in the piece. It can be created from repetition - a consistent element that causes the eye to go around the image.

The first logo has a rhythm because it captures your eye, leads it across the repetitive path of the cord, then releases you to look elsewhere. The repetition helps create the rhythm here, and it does not feel choppy or confusing or interrupted.

The second image creates a rhythm by the repetition of the hands leading downwards. You first notice the biggest hands, and they gradually get smaller as your eye travels down the image. It feels very smooth and naturally rhythmic.

I took the final image, and the lines created by the shadows create a rhythm in that your eye travels across them, looking for the part that is focused in the lower corner. The lines set the pattern or feel of the movement of the viewer's eye throughout the piece. Without the vertical lines (and the diagonal one sweeping across), there would be no flow or movement in a sense to the piece. The lines and shapes set the pace for the viewer to enjoy the image.
