Learning about C.R.A.P was like finding the wardrobe that lead to Narnia. It was like finding the door that lead to the trippy desert purgatory in Beetlejuice. It was like finding the Christmas tree carving that lead to Christmas Town in the Nightmare Before Christmas. It was like finding $10 in the pocket of a jacket you haven't worn in a year.
Pretty much, having such a simple guideline to follow for art and design work has made composing images so much easier for me. What I love about knowing about C.R.A.P now is that despite having limited artistic ability, I'm still able to critically analyze an image and have a checklist to assess whether or not an image is aesthetically striking and technically proper.
Incidentally, after learning about proper image format pertaining to contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity, overexposed MySpace pictures taken at a crazy angle drive me even more crazy than before. Thank you, RTA, for showing me the way in regards to social networking profile pictures. :)
