How does an element create unity in a design?
The element is used repeatedly in the design and makes all parts of the design look connected.
The element is used exclusively so that the design is very simple.
The element is used equally on both sides or around the design and looks balanced.
The element is different from the rest of the design and draws the viewer's attention to one area.

How do you know that a design has symmetrical balance?
The design is circular and repeats around a central point.
The design is random and has no apparent balance.
The design can easily be divided into two halves, but they are not visually similar to each other.
The design can be divided into two halves that are nearly identical to each other.
Why is energy transformation important in the Black Box model?
If energy goes in, it must come out - energy is not created or destroyed, only changed in form.
Energy is not transformed - if it goes into a device in one form, it comes out in the same form.
Energy transformation is NOT part of the Black Box Model.
Energy is not transformed - it is all used up in the operation of a device,
