## 3. CREATE A HARMONIOUS WALL COMPOSITION
🎨 **Golden Rules of the Picture Wall**
**The 150cm rule**: The center of your poster (or composition) should be 150cm from the floor - it's the standard eye height.
**Online Composition** (easy)
→ 3 identical posters in 30x40 cm format
→ Separate 5-8 cm between each frame
→ Align on an imaginary horizontal line
**Gallery Composition** (dynamic)
→ Mix 1 large format (50x70) + 2-3 small ones (21x30 or 30x40)
→ Create an imaginary rectangle or square
→ Vary the themes while maintaining color consistency
**Asymmetrical composition** (modern)
→ Play with heights
→ Create groups of 2-3 posters
→ Maintain a balanced global space
💡 **TIP**: Before drilling, cut out kraft paper templates the size of your posters and hang them with washi tape. You'll visualize the result!
