This document discusses repetition, variety, and gestalt as principles of visual design. It defines repetition as using elements more than once to structure a viewer's experience, and variety as incorporating visual diversity to avoid monotony and hold interest through alternating scale, color, or other features. Gestalt is described as an aspect of psychology referring to how the mind perceives unity and closure, relating to the overall feeling or sense of completeness evoked by an artifact for viewers.
