Rule of Thirds

The fundamental grid. Place subjects at intersections for natural tension.

Rule of Thirds: default starting point. Works for almost everything.

Golden Ratio: more subtle than thirds. Feels more organic, less mechanical.

Center Frame: confrontational. Use sparingly for maximum impact.

Diagonals: when you need energy and movement in a static frame.

Safe Zones: essential for broadcast. Know where text can safely live.
