16. What is Composition?
Placing type, images, and graphics together neatly with the use of control,
effective spacing, and visual judgement. Organizing graphics, images, and type in a
fun and active way (repeating, varying sizes, and/or overlapping etc.) so that it
captures attention and it creates interest. Using the elements and principles of
design to put type, graphics, and images together in a way that grabs attention.
And arranging images, type and graphics all together so it is a readable and
legible, most importantly, so the information gets across.
