Unity is achieved by the consistent use of lines, color, material, and/or texture; which option lists these elements correctly?

• A. Lines, color, material, and/or texture
• B. Color
• C. Texture Only
• D. Lines

Answer: (A)

Unity in design comes from tying elements together through consistent visual attributes. Using lines, color, material, and texture in a coordinated way creates a single, cohesive reading across the composition. When these attributes are applied consistently—whether you emphasize line rhythm, a uniform color palette, matched materials, or similar textures—the parts read as one unified whole. The and/or phrasing means you can rely on any one of these aspects or all of them to achieve that cohesion, so the correct list includes lines, color, material, and/or texture. Relying on just color or just texture, or only lines, often isn’t enough to establish full unity because those elements don’t alone connect all parts of the design, whereas a combined or repeated approach across these attributes leads to a more harmonious result.
