Elements of Composition

When creating any kind of visual imagery you must consider the basic rules that apply to composition. These rules have been established to be effective at making images,ie. paintings, drawings, graphic design work, page layout, photos, more interesting to look at. It is to your advantage to begin understanding basic composition concepts and techniques used to create quality visual art. These rules/ guidelines will open up your mind to new ideas and hopefully give you more control in creating the emotional impact that you want to on your viewer. Use these tools as a means to make your work stronger and more powerful.

The links I have provided below have multiple articles that discuss, and show examples of rules composition. Apply these concepts to your 3D images and you will enhance the impact of your art.
