Full Surface Enrichment
This is the richest and most elaborate form of enrichment when carried to its full perfection. It generally takes the form of a panel filled with appropriate design material. This panel may be used to enrich the plain end of a project such as a book stall and thus cover the entire surface, or it may be inserted into a large primary mass and accentuate its center as in a door, in a manner similar to [Figure 233]. Its use, whatever its position, leads us to the consideration of methods of designing full panels.

Rule 7e. The points of concentration for a fully enriched square panel may be in its center or in its outer margin.
Square Panels
In planning designs for full panels, it would be well to consider: first, square panels; second, rectangular panels; third, varied panels. The point of concentration may be kept in the corners of a square panel, as designed in [Figure 231], or it may be placed in the center, as shown in [Figure 232]. The effects, when assembled, are indicated in [Figure 233].
To secure these effects, a square panel is commonly divided into quarter sections by center lines. The diagonals of each quarter should be drawn before proceeding with the details of the design. These diagonals and center lines are the building lines or leading axes of the pattern. The leading lines and details are then grouped around these center and diagonal axes in a manner quite similar to the method used in [Figures 223] and [224]. These leading lines are then clothed with enrichment by applying the processes indicated in [Chapter IX].
