LECTURE
Basic Composition:
Focal Point: Having something/someone as the centre of
attention.
Scale & Hierarchy: Guides viewer's eyes to and away from
elements.
Balance the elements: Having equal mass on all sides.
White space: Having a lot of space with "nothing" in
it.
Rule of Thirds:
- Divide an image into 9 parts with 4 intersection
points.
- Creates a sense of Harmony
- Makes the image proportionate
Golden Ratio:
Mathematical ratio is found in nature, and it is aesthetically pleasing
to the eyes when implemented in images.

people in it.

makes the viewer feel included.

TUTORIAL
PRACTICAL
Task 1:
I was tasked with making 3 collages, I first started by looking at
inspiration. I wanted to go for pink as it is my favourite colour,
however, I only had a few options for pink elements as I reused the same
magazine from my fashion course back in pre-university. So I looked at
collages that incorporate other colors.

I then made my 3 collages.
REFLECTION
I learned about specific compositions and types of shots to use when making a collage or other design work. I also gained inspiration from Pinterest to include in my 3 collages.
