Olympic Winner?
I stopped on my track when I saw this picture. Okay, the scanned image didn't turn out that good. The red is supposed to be more vibrant than this and the overall color is supposed to be brighter.
This poster is designed by Primo Angeli from Primo Designs for San Fransisco U.S. Bid City 2012 Olympic Games. Well, they didn't win but London did. But this is still a GREAT design from the color to concept to everything, in my opinion. The inspiration behind this design was the cubist movement. We can see it from the squares on the background.If I have to analyze this picture based on the unity concepts, this is how it will be:
1. Continuity - Yes, we can see that the design starts from the top (the hand of the person) down the body length and to the feet and to the ground.
2. Proximity - Yes, there is one focal point on the picture with the olympic logo and they are all close by each other.
3. Repetition - Yes, we can see this from the squares on the background and some curves. I think they are all based on geometric shapes.
4. Color - Yes! I think the main color here is red. Even though the colors are not exactly from the same family, they all work. I can see that they are trying to use the colors of olympic (the five rings) and cooperate them in this picture. The end result is a very dynamic and vibrant design.
I absolutely LOVE this design. What about you? What do you think?

This is a very beautiful compostion.
Everything you said was right on the mark. I'm frustrated by the fact that I can't seen the image as I write this post..ther were some other thoughts that came to mind as I looked at the picture but it is hard to put them into words without seeing the image to help me clarify my thoughts.
