The document discusses elements of design that can be incorporated into photographs, providing a framework for composition. Lines are specifically called out as a powerful tool that can dramatically affect an image depending on the type of line used. Students are tasked with challenging themselves to capture images of "The City" that focus on different lines, textures, shapes, and how lighting can vary within city surroundings. A deadline is provided for assignments involving rule of thirds photos, research on photographers using design elements effectively, and a shoot applying these elements with a two week deadline.

21. At School, St Albans and all your surroundings there is a
wealth of lines, textures, people and changeable lighting
conditions.
Your task is to challenge yourself to bring back images
that address the topic of ‘The City’.
Look at all the different lines, textures and shapes. Note
how the lighting can be quite variable. All these elements
are so important in considering how to take an effective,
impactful photograph
