Similarity

1.

Let's get started with a simple picture of corn. We have an idea shape of a piece of corn, but it's clear to see that though each piece is somewhat similar it's imperfect. Some pieces are disfigured, transformed, cut up, or even broken. The pieces of corn may not be identical or repetitive but they are none the less similar.

2. 

I thought this picture may have been another example of similarity. The font is different for "trust" and "your", and they even have different design concepts. They are similar by association, as you can see that they are all alphabets. However different by designs they manage to still contribute to the purpose.  No matter how much cognitive dissonance (different ideas : different designs) tries to get in the way and make you doubt yourself, "Trust Your Gut".

3. 

Let's add union into the mix of similarity. These two smaller and different color circles converge together to make what's similar to a Venn Diagram. I also like the two words that creates similarity to the middle zone or the little arrow to the side that says "Awesome".

I love how beautiful and creative the designs are that people tend to make. Especially this nice architecture that and architect has manage to make similar by what seems to be tension. This is when a form has been stretched (by an internal, or external (in this case) force, which pushes the contour outwards). Love how elastic they make this architecture look.

5.

The fingers actually show similarity in the sense of spatial distortion. However bent in a position (as you can see the hand is turned to the side), the fingers still can result in a many different spatial distortion.

6. 

Similarity doesn't just show up in shape it can also show up in the structure or in this case visual distribution of the composition. Visual distribution allows each unit form to be in the same amount of space as it would be judged by our perception. There seems also to be no guidance of structural lines.

This picture really captures the saying "the eyes are the window to the soul", but I choose this picture just because of it's simplicity. The eyes albeit not exactly the same shape does have similar features that balance the weight on either side of the composition.

8.

I really enjoy how the circles seems to compress or draw the eye straight to the center, each circle getting smaller to the next. The similarity is definitely in the shape, no matter how the size differs. This also alludes to spacial progression of gradation but that is for the next chapter.

9.

I definitely want to say that this is similar by it's spatial distortion. Even when some of the parts of the bag is bent or twisted and no matter in how it is rotated, each bag still remains similar to the next.

Let's leave this chapter of Similarity with taste. No matter what position turned in, they are also the same size just different depictions of the flower, and the envelopes leaves a nice sense of elegance to an example of similarity.
