This theory in composition goes by many names...

  • Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Shapes
  • Big, Medium, Small
  • 70 / 30 rule
  • 1st Read, 2nd Read, 3rd Read (as in, the 3rd time I read (looked at) this image I saw these shapes)

Whatever the name, the idea is the same, if your image has a nice distribution of big (primary), medium (secondary) and small (tertiary) shapes, the resulting image will tend to be more pleasing to the eye.

You have two choices with this lesson, watch me discuss the issue in the video below, or read the full text.
