Main Concepts Explained
Balance: The principle of design that describes the arrangement the elements to create equal
visual weight.
Symmetry: If you split it down the middle it is exactly (or very
close to) the same on both sides. (EXAMPLE on LEFT)
Asymmetrical: Not the same on both sides, but your eye is
drawn to both sides because of visual interest. (EXAMPLE on
RIGHT)
Shapes: 2D
Positive & Negative Space: Positive is the
subject and negative is the background.
Paying attention to this in your cyanotype
can help create a more dynamic
composition.
Emphasis: The main focal point in your
piece.
