About ComposeBase

We at ComposeBase create courses that deal with the basic concepts of composition. These courses teach students about working with visual elements, placing them within a space to achieve higher quality creative work. Using examples and exercises, we strive to make the ideas behind composition clear and useful to our students.

Let’s talk

A Practical Approach to Composition

We believe composition is a mystery to most, but a skill to those who understand and appreciate it. ComposeBase makes learning composition simple. In easy to understand lessons, we break down the basics of composition and apply them to your own work. Learn by observing, understanding, practicing!

Get Inspired

Clear Fundamentals

We explain the fundamentals of composition in a straightforward manner, and give students a solid foundation before we proceed to more complex ideas.

Structured Learning

The course is logically organized, and builds each student’s compositional skills in an orderly and systematic fashion, so that they don’t get overwhelmed by complex and confusing terminology.

Practical Application

Each theoretical point in the course will be paired with a practical exercise or creative project, so that students will see how their own decisions can affect the results of their writing.

Build Creative Confidence

With a solid understanding of composition, you’ll be making more deliberate visual decisions instead of relying entirely on trial and error.

Learn Through Observation

Analyze and critique compositions to identify hierarchy, balance, contrast, and many other visual relationships.

Develop Your Own Approach

Although you’ll learn the rules of composition, our composition course encourages you to experiment and discover what you like aesthetically.

We don’t just teach students rules for composition—we teach them why those rules exist and how they can be adjusted and manipulated in different creative situations, leading to a strengthened skill in visual decision-making as well as a deeper knowledge of composition.
