Image	E/P of Design	Rational
	Framing	Directs viewer's attention to what is important using objects or elements existing in the scene.
	Repetition	All of the leaves are identical, and they are a lot of them to show the repetition in the piece. The repeated consistency of an element in a work.
	Bird's Eye View	We are looking down on the subjects as if we are far above them, like a bird. View above looking down
	Rule of Thirds	The stork is in one of the intersecting points of the vertical third lines and the horizontal third lines.
	Symmetrical Balance	One side balances or mirrors the other (separated by a vertical line)
	Vertical Lines	Lines represent grandness and spirituality
	Unity	All elements of a piece work together to produce a balanced, harmonious, complete whole
	Asymmetrical Balance	The tree in the right side is balanced by the rock formation on the left, but they are not the same. Different objects balance each other out on the page
	Leading Lines	Lines that lead the eye to other points in the image (or out of the image)
	Horizontal Lines	Lines represent rest, calmness, tranquility
	Diagonal Lines	Lines mean movement and direction
	Proportion/Scale	The relative size of one object in relation to another.
	Texture	The sections of rope show the rope's texture, and employ the texture of the rope as a main focus of the picture. The appearance or feel of a surface.
	Curved Lines	Lines represent comfort, safety, familiarity, relaxation
	Movement/Rhythm	Shows action and the path of the viewer's eyes through the artwork Doesn't have to be a moving photograph
	Worm's Eye View	View from below looking up
	Emphasis	Elements in a piece that are given dominance to attract attention.
	Variety	Differences in elements and principles of design that give interest to a composition
	Simplicity	The monochromatic color scheme and the simple background show the simplicity of the picture. Singling out an item from their surroundings
	Horizon Line	Where the sky and the ground meet, emphasizing sky or ground to emphasize tree.
