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]].
