The grid-shaped rule of thirds concept helps you understand the places on an image where a person is naturally drawn when viewing an image . In theory, the most eye-catching points are where the grid lines intersect.
Understanding where these key points fall can help you better compose a piece of artwork or photo, determine a more appealing crop and even determine placement of elements. Generally, the area that will first attract attention is the top left grid intersection, followed by the intersection below it and then the top right and bottom right cross-sections.
The biggest lesson to come from the rule of thirds is that perfect 2-part symmetry may not be the most appealing configuration. You will get more impact with images and design without it. (And remember, even if your design is created with perfect symmetry from the center out, the rule of thirds will still apply.)
