Composition determines how shapes, text, imagery, and negative space interact within a frame or layout. Designers use principles such as balance, contrast, rhythm, proportion, and emphasis to create visually engaging arrangements. Composition influences readability, emotional tone, and aesthetic appeal. Techniques like symmetry, asymmetry, focal points, and directional lines help guide the viewer’s eye. Strong composition feels intentional and harmonious, while weak composition feels disorganized or distracting. Understanding composition allows designers to control how viewers interpret and emotionally respond to visual content.
