3. Choose the right colours
• Colour increases brand
recognition by up to 80%.
• Colour ads are read up to 42%
more than similar ads in black
and white.
• Colour can be up to 85% of the
reason people decide to buy.

4. Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is a
compositional tool used by
artists and photographers to
help them produce images
which have a more interesting
composition.
The idea is that you imagine
lines dividing up your picture
into thirds.
You should then aim to place
your subject along these lines
or at a point where they meet.
This helps to stop you placing
your subject in the centre of
your photograph and creates a
more pleasing composition

The focus of this picture, the
eye of the bee, has been placed
where two of the imaginary
lines cross
The head of the Cheetah
has been placed close to
the point where our
imaginary lines would
cross. The body has also
been placed along this line.

6. Movement
You should always consider the path of
moving subjects and, generally, leave
space in front of them into which they
can move.
By placing the subject in the lower-left
position, we've used the rule of thirds
and given the jogger plenty of room to
run within the picture.

7. You can also apply the rule of thirds guidelines to the placement
of the horizon in your photos.
Here the centre position of the boat and horizon results in a
static feeling.

8. We have moved the horizon to the upper
third and the sailboat to the left.
This creates space for the boat to move
into and gives the picture a sense of
movement
In this image the horizon line has been
moved to the lower third.
Placing the horizon high or low in your
frame will improve your composition
