COMPOSITION


Composition is one of the basic principles in design. May it be animation, print and etc. Composition through my eyes is a form of laying out text,images and such to form a final work which is best viewed or optimized to its maximum communication limits.

Composition also allows us to generate layouts, thus giving us a wide range of perspective and view of an artwork. Composition is also a tool for producing an artwork and helps to answer a design brief or even our daily 'brief'. By composing an artwork, we are able to design what's best to a certain element such as audience or objective. :)

This was what i wrote 8 weeks ago. We were given a brief. A simple brief to compose a poster or layout which induces your idea of composition, per se the above content. 

The concept i have chosen is: 
Perspective
Composing the many principles
Balance

Perspective is being symbolised by the dotted lines.
Composition being symbolised by the camera. As to how photographers compose a photograph.
And balance? the ball.

The eye is a symbol of my point of view. :) a simple yet straightforward strong poster(i think). with red as a strong feature, i wanted to attract the viewers. Then make them interpret. 

p.s: this isnt the final layout because the texts werent editted a.k.a grids and such 
comments and critiques pls tq :)
