The compositional rules that I added to the photo were the rules of diagnol lines and rule of definition.
I was trying to make the image give a calm and silent emotion. Making it give the audience a calm feeling. Looking at the image of art supplies that are used to create art work, that are used for creative materials.
Besides the image being in black and white, the arrangement of items are important. The arrangement of the items being in layers is somewhat like adding more detail to the photo. Also, the compositional lines in the photo are also important because of the outlines of the drawing. The final componant is the background. If the background is full of several moving, or non moving bojects, then it becomes hard to focus on the main idea of the photo.
