Lets consider how humans see:
Visual
image based communication (includes text)
• Visual discrimination: the ability to discriminate dominant features of objects.
• Visual memory: the ability to recognize something when it reappears.
• Visual spatial relationships: the ability to perceive the position of objects.
• Form constancy: the ability to categorize similar objects with different features.
• Sequential memory: the ability to recognize a sequence of objects when they reappear.
• Visual figure ground: the ability to identify an object from surrounding objects.
• Visual closure: the ability to identify a whole figure when only parts are shown.

Intro to the elements of Design & Composition
- The visual world is described by a specific vocabulary that crosses all art disciplines
Composition is the arrangement of visual elements on the picture plane. In art we accomplish this when framing an image while shooting the photograph or when altering an image in the darkroom or image editing software. In general composition helps the photographer define the important elements in the image. There are many ideologies concerning composition two of the classic ideas are the "Rule of Thirds" and the Golden Ratio.
