This page uses the design principle the Rule of Thirds to balance a variety of patterns, colors, and embellishments. Arranging like elements in a visual triangle is pleasing to the eye, and a great trick for pulling a composition together. I've placed the photos and title slightly off-center and broken up colors and patterns into groups of threes. I often use a prominent color in the photograph as one part of the triangle. I'm one who generally prefers asymmetry over symmetry, and I like to use the Rule of Thirds to maintain balance on an otherwise off-set design. I use the Rule of Thirds when taking photographs as well--stronger photos make stronger pages, but we'll talk more about that in some future posts.
