[03:32] <nothlit> any of you guys who have trouble with composition, this is a nice simple resource to help you out http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71673
[03:33] <LaPalida> thx :)
[04:07] <troy_s> nothlit: Phi phi phi... it is why those photos of an unnamed person were so clunky.
[04:07] <troy_s> nothlit: PHI!
[04:07] <troy_s> lol
[04:07] <troy_s> or oversimplify down to the rule of thirds. *sigh*
[04:39] <nothlit> thinking about the 2d placement of the key object in a piece is great, but theres other parts of it too =p
[04:39] <nothlit> i'd rather people think about it
[04:40] <troy_s> nothlit: Yes, but in the end, I would probably make a case that people can improve their work threefold simply by abiding by phi.
[04:41] <troy_s> nothlit: It took the Renaissance to shift the mindset, and we have been living with examples of it everywhere and all around us since.
[04:41] <troy_s> nothlit: Even more avant-garde composition relies on the principles of standard composition -- albeit in the inverse generally.

[04:42] <troy_s> freak
[04:43] <nothlit> but i do want them to know about other things, then they can get to directionality and values and cool/warm and whatnot =p
[04:43] <troy_s> nothlit: Well ... let's see... composition, colour, content, context?
[04:44] <troy_s> nothlit: Something like the five c's but I can't honestly remember the other... or was it four?
[04:44] <troy_s> lol
[04:45] <nothlit> i dunno, i discard mnemonic devices once i've internalised things
[04:47] <troy_s> nothlit: I think I had mnemonic once... took a pill and it went away.
