The principle of direction is

being used in my simple

composition – as I mentioned

before – where the largest,

second-largest, and smallest

circles in the composition line

up. As you can see in Figure 6-

16, the combination of their

progressively smaller sizes and

their visual alignment give them a

sense of direction that draws

your eye diagonally across the

canvas.

In Chapter 5, I mentioned

imaginary grid lines that were

used to place the circles on the

composition. As you can see in

Figure 6-17, the second-largest

circle lines up with the

intersection of grid lines that line

up with the edges of the largest

circle, which visually anchors the

second-largest circle to the

largest circle. If you look at the

largest circle (which is pretty

hard to miss), your eye is

naturally drawn along the

imaginary grid lines to this

second-largest circle.

Figure 6-16 The alignment of

circles in my simple composition

creates a strong directional

force.
