One of the best known design devices is the "L". Juxtoposing a horizontal and a vertical can direct the eye to the center of interest. In "The Rivals", the gull on the left is the vertical which keeps the eye from wandering off to the left side of the painting. The second gull is the bottom of the L and helps direct the viewer's eye to the object of their rivalry---the sea urchin. Another example of this tomorrow.
