1. EMPHASIS

The principles of design are the rules a designer must follow to create an effective and attractive composition.

The fundamental principles of design are: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement and White Space.

2. Balance and alignment

Design principles are rules that a designer must follow in order to create an effective and attractive composition.

The basic principles of design are: emphasis, balance and alignment, contrast, repetition, proportion, movement and white space.

3. CONTRAST

Contrast is what people mean when they say design is "in". It will disappear from the paper and remain in your memory. Contrast creates space and difference between your design elements. Your background colors need to be significantly different from the colors of the elements so that they fit together harmoniously and are readable.

4.REPETITION

If you limit yourself to two strong typefaces or three strong colors, you’ll soon find you’ll have to repeat some things. That’s ok! It’s often said that repetition unifies and strengthens a design. 

If only one thing on your band poster is in blue italic sans-serif, it can read like an error. If three things are in blue italic sans-serif, you’ve created a motif and are back in control of your design.

5.PROPORTION

Proportion is the visual size and weight of the elements in a composition, and their relationship to each other. It often helps to break the design into parts, rather than tackle it as a whole.

Movement is controlling the elements in a composition so that the eye is led to move from one to the next and the information is properly communicated to your audience. 

Movement creates the story or the narrative of your work.

6.WHITE SPACE

White space (or negative space) is the only one that specifically deals with what you don’t add. White space is exactly that—the empty page around the elements in your composition. 

For beginning designers it can be a perilous zone. Often simply giving a composition more room to breathe can upgrade it from mediocre to successful.

Double Exposure & Image Blending Mode

Double exposure photography is the merging of multiple images. Our goal is to make them surreal, emotional or humorous. They are usually characterized by Outlines. The double-exposure effect may seem complicated at first glance. But it's easy to make on camera and in Adobe Photoshop. You don't need a double-exposure camera because there are some other ways to create them. In the world of editing, you have endless possibilities. You can turn ordinary photos into powerful masterpieces.

1. Using the Tilt-Shift Effect

Photoshop has a great tilt-shift tool that will transform your photos into soft works of art.

If you want to be extra creative, blur one of your photos instead of the entire image. Or blur everything except for one important detail.

To add this feature, go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift.

2. Create fake reflection

There are many ways to create reflections. One way to do this is to create a double exposure with the help of a separate window photo. This is an example of a subject surface with raindrops and bokeh. This helps to add interesting textures to multiple exposure photography.

3. Experiment with simple portraits and details textured

Combining simple things with complex things will give you a balanced result. It can also save a lot of simple photos that you might otherwise discard.

4. Convert your results to Black & White

A lack of colour will strengthen the emotions in your double-exposure images. If you want to express your work in a vulnerable way, experiment with this.

It gives them a unique depth and allows you to experiment with something interesting just like  film photography.

5. Work with silhouette

Many double-exposure photographers choose to use silhouettes. But what if you just deal with the contours? This presents you with an interesting and doable challenge. It's also a chance to show your creative side. Try silhouettes of yourself, others, or random objects. Anything that catches your eye can create a unique composite image.

6. Pick two random photo

A random process doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful. Your results might create a story of their own, one that others will find encouraging.

A lot of  double exposures photography were happy accidents. But they led to great feedback and even greater creative growth. Try and forget about any other double-exposure ideas. Shoot interesting textures, shapes and forms instead.

7. Make simple objects look fascinating

Take photos of everyday objects you usually take for granted. Try to make them look like something else.

A silhouette of a dull-looking building could become the outline of a starry sky like the photo below.

This technique will enhance your imagination.

8. Use Shadow

Any type of silhouette is ideal for double exposure photography. In this genre, shadows are just as effective as silhouettes. They're fun to work with. Take a picture of someone else and turn it into a story. You can do anything you want with this silhouette. All you have to do is go out and take some pictures of the shadows and turn them into something beautiful.

PHOTOSHOP : Blend Modes

A special blending mode works well on more difficult subjects like glass, smoke, fire, and lightning. Take these images for example. How to combine the smoke with the image of the musician? This can create a real mess and it can become very difficult and time consuming.

Here’s a quick guide:

1. Select the Layer 1 (Fire) to be on top of the Background (Musicians)

2. Go to the Blending Modes option 

3. Select “Screen”

4. As a result, all of the pixels on the fire will be selected as Screen blending mode.

Realism Versus Surrealism

Realism The theme is the ordinary world that we call "reality." It almost always takes on a non-exotic and non-extraordinary theme and theme. There's no need to think outside the box because that's not "real."

Surrealism The distortion of realism. It explores the subconscious, with themes focused on dream images that often aim to distort the ordinary and what we call reality

Surrealism 

Surrealism defies logic. Dreams and the workings of the subconscious mind inspire surrealistic art (French for "super-realism") filled with strange images and bizarre juxtapositions

Spurred on by the teachings of Freud and the rebellious works of the Dada artists, Surrealists like Salvador Dali promoted free association and dream imagery.

Dadaism

An anti war art movement with art works that is  satirical and nonsensical in nature.

Salvador Dalí was a Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker known for exploring subconscious imagery.

Surrealism is a cultural movement focused on type of arts to express about the artist’s idea themselves.

In this digital era surrealism is one of the top digital art styles.

Capturing your Dream

1. Sketch it out Grab a piece of paper and a pen/pencil or tablet and start sketching. Sketch out your vision roughly. Don't go into any details, just list the key points of your vision. 2. Find reference images Collecting reference images will greatly help you realize your new ideas. Gather images that directly relate to your ideas.

Mindset During Creation

1. "Does this look real?" Surrealism is best when it is convincing enough that it may be real, but we obviously know that the subject you are creating is non-existent and therefore not real. 2. Do the best you can. When you try to tackle something challenging, you learn skills that you may need next time. The worst thing you can do is be afraid and give up on your ideas because then you'll never learn anything.

Photoshop is easier than ever to create surrealistic images, requiring just a little bit of montage skill to produce impressive results.
