| Repetition and variation | Using pattern and elements that break pattern |
| Rule of thirds | Place objects of interest near the intersections of two imaginary vertical and horizontal lines dividing the viewfinder |
| Selective focus | A photographic technique that utilizes a shallow depth of field (a narrow area that is in clear focus) so that elements closer to the viewer and those beyond the subject are not clearly defined thereby drawing attention to the subject. |

| Symmetry | the balance of design elements where one side equals another |
| Pattern/ Shape | A repeated decorative design. |
| Line | the eye will tend to follow lines, and if the curvature of the line keeps the eye within the image, then the image will capture our attention better than if the curvature of the line causes the eye to leave the image and be distracted by external graphic elements |
