Composition is the arrangement of objects or visual elements in an image using the elements of art. We use many different techniques also called structures in art to accomplish this. Some of the techniques/structures we use are:
Rule of Thirds
Golden Ratio
Leading lines/Diagonals
Framing
S-curves
Dynamic composition-Using geometry
Contrast/ Detail
Symmetrical and asymmetrical
Triangular or Pyramid
Balance
