ABSTRACT
Every work of art, whether a stage design or another type of
art, is a carefully arranged composition. Visual elements are
placed with care and purpose, to achieve the designer’s desired
effect, to engage the viewer, and to control how they perceive
the image. Without the attention of the audience-and the
ability to control it-any important details or attempt at
communicating ideas and information will be lost. A hierarchy
exists between all of the visual components in a composition.
