Principles of Design
One goal of the artist or designer is to achieve unity in
concept, form and purpose. Because unity of purpose can be perceived in

artist will vary compositions, making some appear visually stable and
others unstable, depending on the concept and psychological effect that
he or she wishes to achieve.

according to personal feelings and intent. Some principles of visual

of Design are utilized) include the links below. If you follow them,
you will see Art 2 examples of photo montage which illustrate each
