The dress pictured is an example of good design because the top portion of the dress has a bold pattern that is both leveled and sharpened. The even, continuous pattern creates leveling as well as a positive and negative effect due to its even dispersal of the colors black and white. Though the top is leveled, it is also sharpened because of the strength of the contrasting colors and rigidity of the lines. The piece contains only solid colors, without fading or gradients. Though this piece has a lot of action in the upper section, it balances out nicely with the dull, neutral gray, voluminous lower piece, which counteracts the busy top portion with its simple display of stress in the line of buttons.
The couch pictured above is an example of bad design because the color pixels placed on the couch are very scattered and irregular, creating no pattern, balance, or harmony visible to the eye. The stress is very disorganized, causing tension. This is a poor example of leveling due to the distracting nature of the piece. There is no stability in the piece. As a whole, the wide spectrum of colors is presented in a sloppy, disorganized manner that is unappealing and unsettling.
