There are several different visual arts disciplines, and each has its own set of conventions and received wisdom. Art students will be familiar with the laws of perspective and the notion of balance; photographers will recognize the Rule of Thirds, and how movement must flow from the edge of an image towards the center; designers will understand how to lay out a page that incorporates white space and visual elements to break up the text, and how to draw the reader’s eye through a layout.

All the ‘rules’ that I suggest in this book are those I’ve figured out through years of trial and error, of creating montages and then wondering why they don’t look as good as they should do. Only later, in some cases, have I found that there’s a perfectly good rational explanation for why some compositions work and others don’t, and when this is the case I’ve tried to phrase the explanations in a way that’s meaningful to photomontage artists.
