1. Leading lines refers to a composition technique whereby the viewer's eye is attracted to lines that lead directly to the principle subject in the image.
2. Vertical lines have the ability to convey a variety of different moods in a photograph ranging from power and strength to growth. 
3. There’s something about a horizontal line in an image that conveys a message of ‘stability’ or even
‘rest’.
4. Diagonal lines generally work well to draw the eye of an image’s viewer through the photograph. They create points of interest as they intersect with other lines and often give images depth by suggesting perspective.
5. Curved lines may add beauty and grace to an image. They are also used as a popular design technique for leading the eye into the frame. In contrast to straight or patterned lines, meandering curved lines allow the eye to explore an image in a smooth, free-flowing manner.
6. Symmetrical balance is seen in perfectly centered compositions or those with mirror images.
7. Asymmetrical design is typically off-center or created with an odd or mismatched number of disparate elements.
8. Unity occurs when all of the elements of a piece combine to make a balanced, harmonious, complete whole.
9. Variety is often obtained through the use of diversity and change by artists who wish to increase the visual interest of their work.
10. Movement adds excitement to your work by showing action and directing the viewers eye throughout the picture plane. Rhythm is a type of movement in drawing and painting. It is seen in repeating of shapes and colors.
11. Emphasis is defined as an area or object within the artwork that draws attention and becomes a focal point.
12. Scale and proportion in art are both concerned with size. Scale refers to the size of an object (a whole) in relationship to another object (another whole).
13. Repeating visual elements such as line, color, shape, texture, value or image tends to unify the total effect of a work of art as well as create rhythm.
14. Bird's eye view is shown from directly above. This is a completely different and somewhat unnatural point of view which can be used for dramatic effect or for showing a different spatial perspective.
15. Worm's eye view is a view seen from below or from a more lowly or humble point.
16. Horizons are the most common horizontal line to be found in photographs and they often act as a dividing point in a photograph.
17. The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.
18. Framing is the technique of drawing attention to the subject of your image by blocking other parts of the image with something in the scene.
19. Simplicity is the method of keeping the information in a photograph relatively simple.
20. Texture is the characteristic visual and tactile quality of the surface of a work of art resulting from the way in which the materials are used.
