Rule Of Thirds

The rule of thirds is a " rule of thumb" or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as: designs, films, paintings and photographs. The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into 9 equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections, aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject 

some of the elements include: 

leading lines 

symmetry and patterns 

viewpoint 

background 

depth 

framing 

cropping
