Description
When composing your images, try to pick a dominant shape that you want to repeat throughout the overall design.
Simple shapes trigger well learned patterns that develop early on in our brain. So, when we gaze at an image that has these shapes hidden within the composition these patterns are triggered and we recognize something.
If the shapes are well arranged the recognition feels like a pleasant memory. If they are badly arranged, it's telling us that beautiful pattern we learned as a 2 year old is all wrong and makes us feel uneasy.
All this is happening subconsciously but we can learn to observe these effects through close examination.
