Diagonal Composition in Typesetting

When we think about typesetting, we often rely on vertical lines to organize information.

However, using a diagonal line can actually make the layout feel smoother and

more dynamic. This approach is known as **diagonal composition**, where two non-adjacent

corners of the canvas form a diagonal axis. Once connected, this invisible line

divides the image into two areas and helps guide the viewer’s eye. Placing elements

along this diagonal keeps the composition balanced and visually engaging. Since viewers tend

to scan from right to left, a diagonal flow from top to bottom allows them to explore

the entire image naturally, even when there are only a few elements present.
