Graphic Design, Investigating Ancient Manuscripts

Bold colors and ornate clothing left me with an initial feeling that I was looking at something important. Both images place the primary character(s) in the center for easy detection. Repetition is evident in both images as characters and items are outlined in bold yellow. In both graphics, center alignment is used. Even though Aaron is left of center, his rod balances the image. Eusebius and his student are on opposite sides of the picture, so they balance each other out. With regard to proximity, both graphics show the important symbols close to the people they belong to.
