7 Elements of Design and Composition

Rey Belen February 12, 2012 Media No Comments

Composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements in a way that would make a subject distinct or stand out.

Line - the visual path that enables the eye to move within the piece
Shape - areas defined by edges within the piece, whether geometric or organic
Color - hues with their various values and intensities
Texture - surface qualities which translate into tactile illusions
Form - 3-D length, width, or depth
Value - Shading used to emphasize form
Space - the space taken up by (positive) or in between (negative) objects
