Emphasis:
The background of the image is in black and white. The butterfly is the only colored part of the image. This draws the attention to the butterfly, rather than the whole image.
Rhythm:
Repetition: lines, shapes, colors, or textures are repeated in a garment.
Zebra Print includes only one repetitive black and white pattern.
Gradation
The shirt gradually changes from a light color to a dark color.
Radiation
The shirt has a central point in the middle of the shirt, that radiates out.
Alternation
The tie has a pattern that alternates between thick and thin lines, and red, grey, black, and white colors.
