An easy way to create unity is by proximity, which is made by making seperate elements look as if they belong together by simply placing the elements close together. In the image above, there are several different elements, but by placing them close together in the image, they work together to create unity. 

Unity by Continuation

Continuation is another way to achieve unity. Continuation means that something "continues", commonly seen as lines or a direction from one form to another. The picture above depicts a girl blowing bubbles. Without much thought, your eye looks from the girl's lips to the bubbles that are blown. This shows that the image has continuation because you can continue in a given direction.

Unity by Repetition

Repetition is a very valuable device when achieving unity. The elements that repeat can be anything from a simple color to an intricate figure. In the image above, the figure repeats but the colors change, giving it a sense of unity.
