MORE ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITION AND DESIGN

Even Wikipedia has omitted Balance as a principle, one of the most important  for successful composition, in my opinion. Whole books exist on the subject, and I plan to give balance the space it deserves in the future.

Another feature I will deal with will be balance between objects or shapes, and spaces between, including the proportion of space in a composition.

Wikipedia has mentioned approaches… ways of dealing with various subjects, but not very completely. I believe the study of approaches to making art is a more natural way to integrate the information about good composition.

Understanding the Golden Mean and Rule of Thirds, underlies what is sensed intuitively, and valuable for the person who has integrated it into their process already.
