![]() If you consider the edges of your container to be a frame, everything inside is your composition. Of course you do because the composition is important.Īll of your key elements should be composed in such a way that they guide the eye and accentuate each of their features. You might take a step back, try a new angle, or swap some of your friends around. So, you’ll try to get everything to fit perfectly into the frame, right? Your friends are the most important element (I would hope) but the location provides context and meaning. Imagine yourself taking a photo of your friends at the beach. ![]() Composition – The more elements you have positioned at different distances from the front (I like to think of them as vertical slices going backward) the more pronounced your sense of depth will be.You can do this by sloping the soil to the back or center or using hardscape to anchor different points (e.g. Substrate – Very few environments on Earth are naturally flat, and those that are tend to be boring… Bring your substrate and your terrarium elements in at different heights to elevate (literally) your environment.Using scale to create a false sense of perspective is key. Size – To create a sense of distance from the front to the back, try placing larger objects (plants, rocks, or branches) at the front, and smaller objects at the back.You can experiment with a range of variables to adjust scale and perspective: ![]() But, creating perspective (or better, multiple perspectives) is more than just for depth, it’s about creating a truly dynamic environment. Great terrarium design benefits from the same principle. It’s all about maximizing the visual space in the container to make it seem as deep as possible. In aquascaping, perspective is everything.
