• To create effective images a photographer must understand the way people respond to various kinds of visual organization.
• This involves learning the vocabulary of design, viewing examples of artwork that utilize effective design elements, and actively implementing components of design into the process of photography.

Line• To create more effective photographs actively look for lines and
arrange them within your viewfinder to invoke specific feelings or look towards specific elements.

Shape
• Some primary shapes include circles, squares, triangles and hexagons all of which appear in nature in some form or another. Space is defined and determined by shapes and forms. Positive space is where shapes and forms exist; negative space is the empty space around shapes and forms.

Form
• Form refers to the three-dimensional quality of an object, which is due in part to light, and dark areas. When light from a single direction (e.g. our sun) hits an object, part of the object is in shadow. Often enhanced in black and white.

Framing• Natural Framing is a composition technique you can find very
useful in many situations. It allows the viewer to focus on the desired subject, while also supplying an interesting photograph.

Color
• There has been a tremendous amount of research on how color affects human beings and some of this research suggests that men and women may respond to colors differently. Color affects us emotionally, with different colors evoking different emotions. In short color has the capacity to affect the human nervous system.

Cold Colors

Texture• Texture refers to the surface quality or "feel" of an object -
smooth, rough, soft, etc. Textures may be actual or implied (suggested by the way an artist has created the work of art -visual).

Balance
• Balance implies that the visual elements within the frame have a sense of weight. Large objects generally weigh more than small objects and dark objects weigh more than light colored objects.

Formal Balance• Formal balance is mirror
image balance. If you draw a line down the center of the page, all the objects on one side of the screen are mirrored on the other side (they may not be identical objects, but they are similar in terms of numbers of objects, colors and other elements. Sometimes they are completely identical (often seen in architecture).

Informal Balance• Asymmetrical balance occurs when several smaller items on one side
are balanced by a large item on the other side, or smaller items are placed further away from the center of the screen than larger items. One darker item may need to be balanced by several lighter items.

Rhythm• In photography the
repetition of similar shapes sets up a rhythm that makes seeing easier and more enjoyable. Rhythm is soothing and our eyes beg to follow rhythmic patterns. To be effective, rhythm also requires some variability - rhythm that is too similar or perfect may be boring.

Proportion• Golden Mean or
Phi occurs frequently in nature and it may be that humans are genetically programmed to recognize the ratio as being pleasing.

Chaos• Chaos is a disordered state of elements and
it is found frequently in nature. • Goal is to take a picture that exhibits some
underlying organization so the viewer sees what the artists intends for them to see, but leaves enough chaos within the frame of the image so the viewer has to put forth some effort to explore

Composition
• The organization of all of the visual elements and principles of design into one image. Doing so will help emphasize your purpose and enhance the visualization of your photograph.
