Layout Compositions.
THERE ARE 7 TOOLS OF COMPOSITION.
1. Hierarchy = Organizing things from Most Important to Least Important.
2. Focal/Focus Point = The Strongest, most Engaging element in a design.
3. Eye Path = A Strong composition that can lead the viewer's eye through a design.
4. Proportion = The size of elements, Relative to one another.
5. Visual Weight = The Lightness or Darkness of a colour.
6. Type as a Visual Element
7. Alignment [GRID] = Using Order/Rhythm to place elements on a page.
*Use these tools to guide your viewer's eye.
DESIGN WITH INTENTION. DESIGN WITH PURPOSE.
