The Foundations of Strong Composition Course

Emphasis

Signal-to-Noise Ratio
April 22, 2025
Signal-to-noise ratio in art refers to the balance between meaningful content (the “signal”) and unnecessary visual distractions (the “noise”). A high signal-to-noise ratio helps artists communicate clearly and effectively by reducing clutter and focusing on what matters. This principle is especially useful in design, illustration, and digital interfaces where visual communication must be strong, fast, and intuitive.

Depth
March 4, 2025
Depth in art refers to the illusion of three-dimensional space within a two-dimensional composition. It enhances realism, perspective, and visual engagement, making elements feel closer or farther away. Artists use techniques such as overlapping, scale variation, atmospheric perspective, and linear perspective to create a convincing sense of depth.

Balance
March 4, 2025
Balance in art is the principle that ensures visual stability in a composition. It distributes elements in a way that creates a sense of harmony and order. Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial, and it guides the viewer’s eye naturally across an artwork, preventing it from feeling too heavy on one side or chaotic.
