Basics Creative Photography 01: Design Principles introduces readers to the use of design methodology in the creation of photographic images.
In an age oversaturated with photographic imagery, this book demonstrates how design awareness can add a new level of depth to your images. It guides readers through a comprehensive range of principles traditionally associated with design, including the use of line, shape, colour, space, texture and light, and demonstrates how these can be applied to photography.
Design Principles introduces readers to a more considered approach that can add dynamism and impact to photography, whatever the style or genre.

Ashley Beolens, fatphotographer.net, January 2011'Very good ... this book fills a gap that we have had up till now.'
Peter Savage, Reading College, UK'I think the text, layout and style are all spot on.'
Armando Vilas Boas, Institute of Visual Arts,Design&Marketing,Portugal'Wonderful publications - well designed and thus easier to extract the needed information. Often I find that when a text has in depth technical information, it might be lacking when in comes to conceptual concerns; in this case I think the pairing of the basics of creative photography design principles with the content and narrative is genius.'
Michelle Given, Murray State University, USA'The book offers a systematic approach to photographic composition and design principles preparing the student for exploring the world with a photographer’s eyes and an ability to recreate the rules when necessary.'
Daniela Sirbu, University of Lethbridge, Canada'A great learning aid.'
