Principles of Design Through Photography is an investigation of how a particular principle of design is used in a composition; and how that composition will; in turn; help the photographer convey an effective message to the viewer. Viewers have become so accustomed to looking at what a photograph depicts that they often neglect its composition and aesthetic value in favour of its informative value. Each composition aims to give a visual experience of the principle of design-rhythm; harmony; contrast; balance and symmetry-that helps to better perceive a photograph. Each principle of design has been isolated as much as possible so that it can be understood and used in combination with other design elements. This book is an introduction to the way in which photographs can be read and appreciated; and will delight students of photography; aesthetes and those who are curious about both design and photography.

I love how he includes easy to understand steps and helpful hints as you are working through the book. It has also come in handy as a reference book as I try and develop my own characters and my own style of drawing. A great book for anyone just learning to draw or just getting back into it like me.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great book for cartoon reference.By Doug P.Great book for beginning/advanced artists. I purchased this book when I first stared getting in to cartooning/animation and it helped me refine my techniques and style. The lessons in the book are easy to follow with explanations and diagrams. Definitely a must buy for anyone getting in to cartooning/animation.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. HelpfulBy J MacI do not draw. But Id like to. So I bought this book and have followed the tips and guidelines to create several cute animal drawings that I can be proud of. It will still take a lot of practice to become proficient in these techniques without staring at the book the whole time. but I can say that the hints and tips were super helpful. I highly recommend.
