Shepard Fairey used emphasis by the peace sign in the middle because it centers the whole idea of peace. He uses contrast by the girl with the gun shooting a flower because it saying stop war. He also uses warm colors by the red, and the yellow. He also uses value in the picture by mid-tones, and a lot of shading. That is what he use in his painting.

One of the elements is the lines coming from the circle they are going in different directions. the 2 element is the colors, the background is like a dark orange and the lines are a light orange. one principle she used is pattern, in the background it has patterns and in the circle in the middle it also has patterns. the second principle is the emphasis, the first thing i see when i look at this is the circle in the middle with lines coming out of it
