In composition theory, a more pleasing composition is a composition that
contains contrast. Now by contrast I don't mean only the contrast
control in photoshop, although that can be used to give us the kind of
contrast we're discussing.
I'm talking about the original definition of the word: "Contrast: The
state of being strikingly different from something else, typically
something in juxtaposition or close association."
So contrast is two opposing things. Like black and white is a contrast.
Big and small is a contrast. Soft and hard is a contrast. Loud and quiet
is a contrast. Thick and thin is a contrast. Textured and smooth is a
contrast.
A very important topic in composition theory, and available for the
first time as a youtube video, this tutorial will discuss the concept in
detail, and it will lay the groundwork for a number of upcoming
composition tutorials I have planned in the future.
