The 8 basic compositions.

Here is the 8 basic compositions;

One dominant focal point- This is where is one main image as

the compositions. It can float or rest in its positions, and it is

free of all sides. There is only one main focal point to the viewer.

Two cominant focal points- This is where there are two main

images present to the viewer. The compositions divides the

viewers attentions to two different focal points in two eye-fixes.

Structure- In this one, the compositions relies on a table or

grid to help its 'structure'. You can add space rules and also add

borders to the composition and this can add benefit to this as

you can add extra things.

Negative/Positive- High contrast is the main characteristic of

this composition. This is used when a picture relies highly on 

the background  for its shape edges. Negative and positive

can also sometimes give the viewer a optical illusion.

Pattern- In a pattern composition the viewer is bombarded

with many pictures/visual units. This is usually used so that

there is a equal distribution to the viewers eye. This usually

touches a minimum of these sids per image.

Movement- This is the use of gradiation, in a gradual process to create a sense of movement. This gives the impression that the images are moving from one area to another. It is usually created by distinctive flowing on a curving eye-path.

Frame- This has multiple visuals, but they are arranged that it spotlights one area of the picture. The standard format forms a border around the area of interest.

Perspective- The impact of perspective composition is the sense of depth. The designer achieves the illusion with a two dimensional image but makes it look like 'through a window' that it is three dimensional.
