I like this resource because it takes a lot of the ideas we have already looked at and approaches them from a composition & layout perspective. We have seen what each is and what they do; this provides some depth into what each can do/does for the composition of a text. (10/5/13)

I wanted to find another site with a more in depth explanation and found one with totally new elements that can be used to improve layout and design. Most of these examples I have never heard of besides focal point and grid design, but you can never know too many new ways in order to improve your delivery, right?

"The distribution of visual weight within a composition."

Very helpful for thinking about our Project One assignment and how to improve it.

What I really like about this link is that it is a fluid and in depth description and explanation for rhetoric's transition from the spoken to written word. In isn't just a simple definition, but provides a broader picture of rhetoric's evolution.

CHAPTER 4- I liked this website the best because it displayed all the ways you can create balance in a work. You can do it by value, color, shape, texture, etc. I also liked that it explained the horizontal axis.

I thought this was an interesting you tube video about how to organize and layout a project effectively.

breaksdown symmetry into subcatorgories

Balance is concerned with the distribution of visual interest -- what is where in a composition. << This source gives further understanding for balance and shows how symmetry is related to it. 

Another article with more details and a more clear layout to understand different sections of balance within design.
