  • Composition is important to the design of an image, bringing all of the visual elements together in concert to express the purpose of the image.

Effective composition can be pleasing or disturbing, depending on the intent of the image maker. 1-8 points
    Please enter a number from 1 to 8.

    Please enter a number from 1 to 8.
  • Style is defined in a number of ways as it applies to a creative image. It might be defined by a specific genre or simply be recognizable as the characteristics of how a specific artist applies light to a subject. It can impact an image in a positive manner when the subject matter and the style are appropriate for each other, or it can have a negative effect when they are at odds. 1-8 points
    Please enter a number from 1 to 8.
  • Presentation affects an image by giving it a finished look. If mats and/or borders are used do they support and enhance the image, not distract from it. Any filters or finishes applied to photos should be enhancing to the photos presentation. 1-6 points

  • Center of Interest is the point or points on the image where the maker wants the viewer to stop as they view the image. There can be primary and secondary centers of interest.

  • Subject Matter should always be appropriate to the story being told in an image. 1-12 points
    Please enter a number from 1 to 12.

    Please enter a number from 1 to 10.
  • Technique is the approach used to create the image. Printing, lighting, posing, capture, presentation media, and more are part of the technique applied to an image. 1-10 points
