6 Elements of Composition as they relate to photography poster

Simplicity: Singular element, plain background

Lines: Straight, curves, Parallel, Intersecting, Thick, thin, Dark, Light, etc...

Framing: Focal Point surrounded by something. Ex. Doorway, tree arch, grass, etc...

Mergers/Avoiding Mergers: The concept of Overlap is what is looked at here. The 3-D world when transformed into a 2-D picture often creates an accidental new image through overlapping
