Use basic design elements to create images that express the meaning of the two words: 1) "Peace" 2) "Chaos"

To express the idea of chaos, I used the following elements:

Colour
- bright colours at maximum saturation on a black background: "glowing" effect
- "shouting colours" (red/green, yellow/blue): confusing, psychedelic effect

Lines
- sharp, jagged lines all tangled together: aggressive, chaotic feel

Chaos

Colour
- soft pastel colours on white background: subtle contrast that is not too sharp
- gradient of whispering colours: feeling of quietness

Lines
- soft curved lines arranged parallel to each other: orderly, gentle, peaceful

Peace
