Composition is defined as the way every object is being placed over the canvas. This is an essential and integral part of designing. A good composition can bring out the best of a simple design.

Figma Composition

Fighting with waves
Fighting with waves

At first glance, I could not make out clearly the meaning the design indicated. Observing carefully, I deduced that it's a boat floating on sea waves.

Queen of the water

At first glance, it appeared like some triangle demonstrating proximity, closure, and similarity. After a close observation, I concluded it's a fish and also looks like an arrow.

Mountain Range

This may look like a just triangle to you but I think the bigger triangle is a hill that is comparatively closer to me than the other 3 that are behind.

Interstellar journey

It looks like that a spacecraft traveling in deep space away from a planet. Although the changed background of both objects somewhat contradicts the notion.

Faith of billion

There can be many conclusions for this composition. First, it could be four rectangles over a white background with some wavy lines on them. Secondly, it could have been a holy white cross over a black background, with wavy lines on the background.

Paper Composition

An unidentified flying object

This is a very interesting composition, It looks like a UFO flying above the mountain.

Shrinking object

This composition is a little different from the rest. In this, the solid object at the top is getting smaller gradually and again expanding to the original shape at the bottom.

Ecplise

Here I have created the different phases of the moon, Starting from the top left corner and ending at the right bottom corner.

Pacman

Here I can see Pacman eating a dot.

Attack on planet

this composition has many triangles and a circle. Here It looks like two spaceships attacking a planet.

Thank you for reading
