In the arts of painting, graphic design, and photography, '''Composition''' is the plan, placement or arrangement of the elements of art in a work. The selection and appropriate placement of elements within the work contributes to a gratifying response from the viewer, due to the perception of the work as being [[esthetic]]. There are fundamentally two types of composition: informal, and the less frequently found formal or symmetrical. Composition is also related to artistic canon, for example, the draughting of a pleasing face. In [[graphic design]] and [[desktop publishing]], composition is commonly referred to as [[page layout]].

The [[rule of thirds]] is a guideline commonly followed by visual artists. The objective is to stop the subject(s) and areas of interest (such as the horizon) from bisecting the image, by placing them near one of the lines that would divide the image into three equal columns and rows, ideally near the intersection of those lines.
