Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are some, sort of, standards that we\Nhave in design principle.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The rule of thirds is a really classic\Nimportant strategy, typically used in
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,photography, but we can use it also\Nbecause we're using images in Photoshop

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, in this rule, we're using an imaginary\Ngrid of 9 equal parts, the placement of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your elements at the intersections equals\Na more interesting placement for the viewer.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um, so in this you can imagine you have a\Ngrid, so I've got 2 vertical lines and 2

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right here, right here, right here, that is\Nthe most dynamic placement for any

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you can see in this photograph, our\Ndog is placed in a really good position.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The viewers eye is going to enter the\Nimage plane and give it an opportunity

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So these are kind of those power positions\Nwhere you could imagine placing your
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,objects, elements, subjects, to create the\Nmost dynamic possible position.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this sort of castle is also at a power\Nposition at this intersection, and then
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're going to travel over to this\Nimaginary, sort of like, dragon creature.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, very dynamic position because the eye\Nis travelling around the composition.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, really important classic, kind of,\Npainting, Edmund Dulac,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Uh, here you can see we have a composition\Nsimilarly, things are asymmetrical, they are
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,placed off to the right.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is not centered, the subject is a little bit\Nlower, the horizon line is up about that

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we compared them, I cropped the one on\Nthe right a little bit to make it sort of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,centered, the comparison should give\Nyou a good idea.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here, your eye kind of comes in and it\Ntravels up and it comes back down.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this very centered image it sort of just\Nbreaks the image plane into 2 parts.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very boring, very static.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We also have 2 equal parts between the\Ntop, because the horizon line is falling in

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's very very static.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our second rule is the golden ratio.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the Greek mathematical equation,\Nit expresses itself as a spiral.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many of the most famous pieces of art use\Nthis ratio to decide on the placement of

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is very popular in, um, architecture\Nas well.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The golden ratio, again, it is a\Nmathematical equation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once you know he equation you can use it\Nto determine the placement and the scale

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's a very famous piece, you can see\Nhow that spiral is being expressed in

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many, uh, very important and classic\Nlogos are based on the golden ratio.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the ratio itself is 1 to 1.618, you can\Nsee how these play out in logos that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're often very familiar with.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So these all are using a ratio of 1 to\N1.168: Chevron, Pepsi, all of these logos
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using that golden ratio.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The idea behind the golden ratio is\Nthat it is a mathematical proportion, so
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ratio itself is often found in nature,\Nthink of shells etcetera, things you find

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um, that idea is sort of, uh, being \Nborrowed by designers to make logos that

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, let's talk about placement of where\Nyou can put your things, again, thinking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the golden ratio, thinking of the rule\Nof thirds, thinking about imbalance,
