Lecture 2:

Composition

 

Composition is one of the most challenging yet powerful and exciting aspects of 2-D design.

It is the technical foundation of your image. Without it, images visually fall apart.  

Photo composition is the foundation upon which we build our images by the correct selection, arranging, organizing and combining the visual elements within the picture area to produce a harmonious and pleasing work.

Work out your composition early, moving yourself or elements around until the arrangement is pleasing to you. Making major changes and adjustments later in the design process is much more difficult.
