27) Crystallographic Balance (aka all over pattern)

This idea of Crystallographic Balance exhibits an equal emphasis over the whole format which means it is the same weight and eye attraction everywhere. In this Adeline Harris Sears piece, the many blocks are the same size, with each defined in the same degree of contrast to the black background. If one of the blocks happened to be bigger or out of line, this design would not be crystallographic.
