Revision of research question / defining the project

Finding a more coherent research question for my essay has been essential at this point to narrow down my research and clarify the direction of my project. 

Potential Questions :

• Are all images formed in relation to rules of composition, even when done unconsciously? 
• Are images most visually appealing when formed according to rules of composition?
• Is visual unity essential to the success/power of an image?
• Is an image more successful/powerful when formed according to rules of composition? 

Essential questions to answer: (outline in introduction)

• What is visual unity and how do you achieve it?
• What rules of composition am I specifically looking at, in order to evaluate how they can/do determine the success on an image. 

Practical Project: 

I aim to create two series of images - one formed according to rules of composition or theories of visual perception such as Gestalt theory and the other created using my own sense of intuition. In comparing these two processes of image-making it may be made clear to what extent rules are necessary in order to form a 'good' image, as well whether these rules stunt/limit creativity and if visual unity is/can be best achieved intuitively.
