The Architecture of Illustration Composition
PROJECT TYPE:
Illustration & Art Calendar
DATE:
2026
LOCATION:
The Netherlands
This section explores the visual architecture behind three illustrations from The Secret Ocean calendar. Rather than simply placing individual marine subjects on a page, each scene was constructed through a deliberate arrangement of forms, movement, scale, repetition, and surrounding details.
The three compositions demonstrate different ways of organizing an underwater illustration: creating rhythm through groups of elements, building visual focus around a central subject, and using directional movement to lead the eye through the scene. Together, they show how composition can transform marine life and botanical elements into a cohesive visual narrative.
