Principles and Elements of Design
Principles:   Balance--When the photo has a balanced composition or subject  Pattern--When there is a repeating scheme in the photo Rhythm--Similar to pattern but has a sort of melody in the photograph Contrast--Having bright and vibrate differences in the frame that brighten up everything   Unity--When the whole image comes together in a harmonious way   Emphasis--Singling out a single subject and making that the focus of the image Movement --When it is very clear that the subjects in the photo where in movement when the photo was captured	Elements:   Line --Drawing the viewers direction to the main focus through lines in the frame Shape --Having a very symmetrical composition Form --Having the subject in a certain position or setup to portray a message (Color)--Similar to contrast, but having bright colors to make the image pop Space --Keeping an open section of the composition and leaving room for mystery Texture --Using a rough surface so that the image has a sense of the third dimension Value  --Having a purpose or reason for the image
