Principles

Symmetrical
Both of these couches are symmetrical.  The top couch has side tables with lamps that adds symmetry and the bottom couch just uses the pillows to show the symmetry.

All of these images are symmetrical.  The top left image is a duplex that is perfectly symmetrical even on the inside. The middle picture is the entrance to the Lamar Lewis store downtown and is symmetrical due to the window cases on each side.  The bottom left picture is of a cooktop and is also symmetrical.  The right picture is of Notre Dame in Paris and the outside of this building is perfectly symmetrical.

Asymmetrical 
 The above three images use picture frames of items on a shelf to show asymmetrical balance.  The pictures and objects are not the same but they are placed in a way that balance each other.

The top image uses asymmetrical balance in the tall structures on the right side of the building and windows on the bottom left to balance each other out.  Similarly, the bottom right picture uses windows at the top of the image that are balanced by the book shelf at the bottom.  The left image uses asymmetrical balance in the objects to the top of the table.  They are not the same objects but use similar weight to balance each other out.

Radial
All six of these images are radial symmetry.  The top left picture is of fan blades that radiate out from the motor.  The middle left picture is of an umbrella and its supports radiating out.  The bottom left picture is of a chandler and the lights coming from the center.  The top middle picture uses radial symmetry in the legs of the table.  The bottom middle image has seats that radiate out from the fire pit.  The right picture is of a coat rack that has hooks and legs that use the center post as the point of radial symmetry. 
Emphasis
The top left picture has emphasis on the horse head over the door and the bottom left has emphasis on the G door handle.  The first thing that catches the eye in the top right picture is the dog and the red wall catches your eye first in the bottom right picture and each of these elements have the emphasis.
Shape and color are the emphasis of each of these pictures.  The left picture uses emphasis is the square rug and the right picture shows emphasis in the red color.

Repetition and Rhythm
Repetition and rhythm are show by these pictures in there use of shapes.  The top picture has repetition in the tiles and the patter the tiles makes.  The chair has repetition and rhythm in the circles in the back of the chair.  The bottom right picture uses the chalk board circles to show repetition and rhythm.
These three photos also show repetition and rhythm.  The light show repetition in the light it puts out, the chairs show repetition in the amount of them and the coliseums arches show repetition and rhythm.

Movement
The left picture of the hall way shows movement because it carries your eye down the hall to see what might be at the end.  The top right picture has movement because of the girl walking and the light coming from the door.  It makes your eye move there and wonder what is beyond the door.  The bottom right picture has movement because the contrast in colors causes your eve to move from the white cabinets, to the counter top, to the lights.
These three images have movement because they pull your eye down the photo.  The top photo of Transmetropolitan has movement in the tile walk way, the bottom photo has movement in the carpet, and the diagonal lines of the stairwell has movement.

Proportion and Scale
These images show proportion and in different ways.  The 2 on the wall is proportional to the spot but the proportion also notes the importance that it is the second level.  The A is un-proportional the the rest of the items on the shelf and shows that the A should stand out.
These three images also show proportion and scale.  The clock has marks on the face that are proportional to the clock and at scale to each other.  The faucet has handles that are at scale to the spout.  The bar stools are proportional the the height of the bar because if they were not they would be useless.

Unity and Harmony
The top picture has unity and harmony because it is the inside of Peppers Deli and it represents the theme with out having identical images.  The bottom left picture has unity and harmony because it is a lodge themed bar that has wood and stone that complement each other.  The bottom right picture has unity and harmony in the repetition of the windows on each side.
Each of these pictures have unity and harmony because the architectural/aesthetic features repute themselves. 

Variety
Each of these pictures have variety because they all have multiple building materials in each picture.  Top: Marble, metal, and wood. Left: Siding, brick, and shingles. Right: Cinder blocks, rod iron, sheet metal, and wood.
Each of these pictures have variety because they all have multiple building materials in each picture.  Left: Chalk board, corrugated metal ceiling tiles, and wood bead board. Top Right: Wall paper, chandler, and exposed metal beams.  Bottom Right: Brick, windows, cement, corrugated metal, and wood.
