web design checklist

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

Rule of thirds using Fireworks

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

It is based on the “golden section” or the “golden ratio”. Instead of placing the subject in the centre of the image, this rule suggests that it is better to place it on the four crossing points of the lines. I’m not sure how it works, but images composed using this method do seem to look better. I’m not even going to try and explain how it works but simply show how to crop images using this rule with Fireworks.
