Blog #1 Aesthetics and Composition.

I learned that everything that we experience as a complete event can be considered an aesthetic experience. So how do we achieve aesthetic through use of visual design and composition? One way is by use of ABA Form and Variations. This allows for visual relationships that are built on a framework of repetition and contrast. Another tool you can use is a grid system. A grid is a system helps organize and establish relationships between elements in a structure that can provide consistency and guide the development of visual hierarchies. Also the use of the Rule of Thirds where focal areas are able to be more easily defined. The rule of thirds is considered to be a good method for developing a composition and an effective way to measure the balance and stability of an existing composition.
