The document discusses elements of design that can be incorporated into photographs, providing a framework for composition. Lines in particular are highlighted as a powerful compositional tool that can dramatically affect an image. 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, research on photographers who use design elements effectively, and a photography shoot applying these concepts.
