# edge-tension

Subject is partially cropped and pressed to the edges of the canvas.

## Structure

- Main subject extends to or beyond one or more canvas edges
- Cropping creates tension and implied continuation
- Remaining canvas space used for text or supporting elements
- Asymmetric composition with strong edge anchoring

## Best For

- Dynamic product or character presentations
- Magazine-style editorial layouts
- Content where the subject is larger than life
- Attention-grabbing social media formats

## Visual Elements

- Subject cropped at canvas edge (head, limb, or object partially cut off)
- Strong directional energy toward the cropped edge
- Text placed in the open space opposite the subject
- Optional color or texture fill in the open area

## Text Placement

- Title and body in the open space away from the subject
- Subject label near the visible portion
- Avoid placing text over the cropped area
