Composition

Composition is organizing visual elements in a design harmonically. Harmonic composition can be reached with applying principles of composition:

—  Unity

—  Balance

—  Rhythm

—  Contrast

—  Focus

—  Proportion

Unity is one of the principle that emphasizes the harmony of the elements that are prepared, both in its form and relation with the underlying idea. There are several ways to achieve unity:

—  Determine dominance (size, color, location)

—  Size as an attraction

—  Unite way

—  Unite form

Balance is a principle in the composition that avoids one-sided impression of an area or space that is filled with visual elements. Balance can be divided into:

—  Symmetrical balance and asymmetrical balance

—  Centered balance and spread balance

Balance can be achieved with a few things:

—  Balance in form and size

—  Balance in color

—  Balance from its texture

—  Balance from its composition

 Rhythm is the preparation of the elements to follow a certain arrangement of pattern regularly to get the impression that interesting. Arrangement can be implemented by performing repetition and change on a regular basis.

The contrast in a composition is required as a vitality so as not to seem monotonous. Of course, the contrast shown sparingly because if excessive, will appear irregularities and contradictions that are far from harmonious impression.

The focus is always needed in a composition to indicate the part which is considered important and is expected to be a major concern. Guards harmony in creating a focal done by making everything around the focus supports the focus that has been determined.

Proportion is the ratio between the size of the parts and between parts of the whole, the composition principle emphasizes the size of an element that will be prepared and how far the size supports harmonious appearance of a design.
