Lecture 2-INTRODUCTION TO COMPOSITION
-Introduction to basic composition
·FOCAL POINT
A key element to any good composition is a strong focal point, as it helps viewers’ eyes naturally settle on the important pieces of your design first.
·SCALE & HIERARCHY
Scale is often used to help communicate hierarchy by drawing attention toward and away from certain elements, thus signifying their importance to the communication.
·BALANCE THE ELEMENTS
A good technique for mastering asymmetrical balance is to think of each element as having a ‘weight’ to it.Smaller objects might ‘weigh’ less than larger objects, and heavily textured elements might ‘weigh’ more than flatly colored elements.
·WHITE SPACE
White space is mostly known as “empty space” to balance up the main focus of a composition.

-Rule of Thirds
The Rule of Thirds is the process of dividing an image into thirds, using two horizontal and two vertical lines. This imaginary grid yields nine parts with four intersection points.

Fig 1.2.4 Rule of Thirds
The Rule of Thirds is a way to:
·Use composition techniques that are in line with what’s naturally pleasing to the eye.
·Creatively use negative space.
·Create conversation between the subject and background.
-Golden Ratio
The Golden Ratio is a mathematical ratio. It is commonly found in nature, and when used in a design, it fosters organic and natural-looking compositions that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

This week Mr.Fauzi asked us to choose and identify our collage's design elements to be cut out and compose it into our own concept & story.
These are my collage designs：
