Knolling
Knolling is the process of arranging or organizing like but different objects so that they are at 90 degree angles from each other, then photographing them from above. Knolling creates a look that is often symmetrical and pleasing to the eye, and it also allows people to see many objects at once in a single photograph.
Problem Statement: Try the art of knolling by choosing a thematic collection of objects and artfully arranging them on a flat surface. Document the arrangement from a bird's eye viewpoint, capturing the entire organized collection.
Things to Consider: number of items, color scheme, background surface/color, amount of space around each item, space allowed for border, shape of collection, lighting, alteration of objects
