After looking at this image, I had to ask myself, what message the illustrator was trying to convey with this script. The image looks to me like a rug design with pictures of eagles and what looks like an angel in the middle of it.
The design principles I can see in this script are:
Contrast – The designer used combination of colors. But the one color that stands out the most is the yellow color that was used to border round the four pictures. The four pictures also caught my eyes.
Repetition- Repetition can be found everywhere in the script. One repetition is the yellow border around the four images. The designer repeated the yellow border four times in the script. Also repetition can be seen at each corner of the script. Furthermore, the designer repeated the arc drawing in all four sides of the script.
Alignment- The four corners of the script are aligned to level with the corners of the paper. Also the four bordered pictures are aligned to have equal size. I believe the designer did a superb job of aligning this script. In all, the script has a look of centered-aligned image.
Proximity- This was kind of difficult for me to determine. The only observation I can make regarding to proximity is that the cross (+) signs are placed closer to each angels in the picture.
The author used pictures of angels in different forms to illustrate that this is biblical and religious content.
