The rule of thirds is a composition guideline for visual images like photographs, paintings, films, and designs. It involves dividing an image into nine equal parts using horizontal and vertical lines, and placing the subject along the lines or at their intersections.

-----------------------------------

The golden ratio, also known as the golden number, golden proportion, or the divine proportion, is a ratio between two numbers that equals approximately 1.618. 

-------------------------------------

In graphic design, proximity is a principle of design that refers to the spatial relationship between the elements of the design. The rules of proximity are pretty simple: things that are related should be nearer to each other, and things that are unrelated should be placed further from each other.

design composition :

 

v form, 

This composition directs the viewer's eye towards a central point or focal area, often at the bottom or top of the “V.”

L Form, 

L-shape balance composition in art is a technique where the main elements of a composition are arranged in the shape of the letter “L.”

pyramid form, 

Pyramid compositions work particularly well for still lifes, gabled houses and barns, maritime and waterfront paintings with boats' masts, and figural groups

cross form,

The cross is a four-division tool seeking to divide a given 'space' from a unity (a central point) into four (equal) quarters.

circle form

The circular shape also represents wholeness and balance. It evokes a sense of fluidity and equilibrium through its seamless symmetry

diagonal form

A diagonal composition would have you arranging the elements in your composition along one or more diagonal lines.

golden ratio

Consider the Golden Ratio a useful guideline for determining dimensions of the layout. One very simple way to apply the Golden Ratio is to set your dimensions to 1:1.618.>

rule of third

The rule of thirds is a composition guideline that involves dividing an image into nine equal parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines, and placing the subject along the lines or their intersections.
