Whole screen
The first read happens before the first sentence
- A screen can have good parts and still have weak composition.
- The first read should match the product moment.
- Composition makes tradeoffs visible across the whole surface.
Parts without whole
All elements are individually neat, but the screen has no clear center of gravity.
- Scattered weight
- Weak priority
- Decorative noise
Authored whole
The screen has one clear focal point, supporting structure, and quiet secondary detail.
- Clear read
- Better rhythm
- Easier action
