I thought it would be a challenge to try to find these design elements in one area, so most of these pictures were taken in Curitiba!

Minimalism/Use of Space
The design here is very minimal, with very few objects crowding the space. I think it accomplishes what it needs to – it is an open space for people to use.

Proportion
Here the tree is larger than the building, and the building to the left towers over both.

Typography
Here the “EXIT” sign text draws attention with its stark color, making it effective for its purpose.

Rhythm
There is repetition in the pattern of these bricks, creating rhythm.
At first, I thought it would be hard to find the different design elements to take pictures of in every day life, but after I started looking, it was easier to find!
