Field of View Variables

Four important variables to consider when composing your field of view are:

  1. Camera Location - The point of view (the position of the camera in relation to the subject) is obviously essential to the shot.  The physical location  needs to be paid careful attention to because it determines what is or isn't in the shot.
  2. Camera Angle - the angle of the camera is important because it influences the message of the shot and exaggerates different things in the photograph.
  3. Subject Location - this is not always up to the photographer but is just as essential to the shot.  The pose and also the landscape around the subject effect the image greatly.  
  4. Focal Length - this is the lens found on camcorders that gives you latitude to adjust your framing.  This helps zooming in and out and to adjust the frame and framing the subject.

Here are two examples of terrible kerning:

Visual Hierarchy

A page consisting of simply one huge column of uniform and equally spaced text fails to interest and entertain the viewer as successfully as a page with visual hierarchy does.  Visual hierarchy is essentially the order that the viewer processes the content on a page.  It sets apart words, phrases, and paragraphs so that the content can be easily processed by its viewers.  Alignment, color, images, headers, etc. add emphasis to visual hierarchy, making the important information more clear and obvious while the less essential information becomes smaller and less impactful. USA Today's website contains interesting visual hierarchy.  This makes it a joy to use because not only is it aesthetically pleasing but also the content flows easily and clearly.
