Composition and Design Fundamentals for Photographers
Welcome to the Weekly What's Up! Let's take a look at what's planned for the Envato Tuts+ Photo & Video section this week.
Envato Tuts+ Photo & Video for the Week of January 11, 2016
This Week's Featured Course
We have a new course from Kirk Nelson on Thursday, Design Fundamentals for Photographers. Kirk is a graphic designer and a regular contributor to our Design & Illustration section. This is a great course for photographers who want to improve their compositions, taught by someone who really knows how to construct an image.
The course has four sections, each about a fundamental design principle: line, shape, colour, and visual weight. Each section addresses how to use the design element for emotion, message, and composition, and includes a set of assignments to help you practice your new photography skills.
