Composition: The formal organization of elements in a composition arranged according to principles that will support the communication of the concept.
Frame: This boundary (rectangle, square, circle) is represented by the edges of the paper or the margins drawn within.
Shape: Created by a line (contour) or a grouping of points, it is an area that is separate from other areas, defined by its perimeter.
Organic shape: is one that resembles the flowing contours of an organism.
Geometric shape: such as circles, triangles or squares often have precise, uniform measurements.
Figure (positive space): The shape of a form that serves as a subject in a composition.
Ground (negative space): The space surrounding a positive shape or form; sometimes referred to as ground, empty space, field, or void.
Unity: Refers to the cohesive quality that makes a composition feel complete and finished. Unity gives it the feeling that all the elements relate to each other in a compatible way to form a unified whole.
Economy: Using only the elements necessary to communicate an idea, emotion, or formal concept. Less is more.
