Umyalelo
Yenza isithombe ngasinye engisilayishile sibe iphosta ezimele enomklamo osezingeni eliphezulu, ngaphandle kokuhlanganisa izithombe; isithombe ngasinye sikhiqizwe sodwa. Sebenzisa ukwakheka okuqondile okungu-3:4, kube nezindawo ezimbili ezilinganayo ngobude, ngayinye ithathe u-50% wesithombe.
Ingxenye ephezulu mayigcine isithombe sokuqala, kugcinwe ubunjalo, isakhiwo, ukuma, ukuthungwa kwangempela, ukukhanya kwemvelo nomoya wemibala yaso. Kusetshenziswe kuphela ukulungiswa kombala okuncane kodwa okusezingeni eliphezulu, ukuze sibe nomuzwa womagazini wobuciko, wencwadi ezimele kanye nesithombe sombukiso. Ukuze kulingane nefomethi, ingemuva lendawo linganwetshwa ngokwemvelo, kodwa umzimba oyinhloko akufanele welulwe, uphendulwe noma ushintshwe.
Ingxenye engezansi mayikhiphe kuphela **umzimba oyinhloko, uhlaka, isakhiwo, ukuma kanye nobudlelwane bokulandisa** obubonakala kakhulu esithombeni, bese ikwakha kabusha ibe umfanekiso wokubhala othi “**umbhalo uyisithombe**”. Ungasikopishi sonke isithombe futhi ungagcini zonke izinto; susa iningi lengemuva nemininingwane engabalulekile. Sebenzisa umbhalo njengamachashazi, imigqa, izindawo nezinhlayiya, ngokusebenzisa **ukuphindaphinda, ukukhulisa nokunciphisa, ukuzungezisa, ukuhlukahluka kobuningi, ukuhlelwa emizileni nokugqagqana ezindaweni ezithile**, ukuze kwakhiwe kabusha uhlaka, ivolumu, ukugeleza nezici ezisemqoka zomzimba. Umuntu kufanele awubone ngokushesha ubudlelwane bawo nesithombe esingenhla.
Umbhalo uqobo kufanele wenze umsebenzi wokwakha isimo, ungabi umhlobiso obekwe phezu kwesithombe. Izinhlamvu ezinkulu zingakha uhlaka namakhonturu amakhulu; izinhlamvu ezincane eziminyene zingakha izindawo ezimnyama, ukuthungwa nesisindo; umbhalo ongandile ungakha imiphetho, umoya nomuzwa wokunyamalala. Ezinye izingxenye zingagobeka, ziqoqane, zinqamuke noma zihlale ziba mbalwa ngokulandela ukugeleza komzimba, kwakhe ulimi olubonakalayo lwe **Typographic Illustration / Calligram / Typographic Texture / Visual Poetry**. Okuqukethwe kombhalo makukhishwe emzimbeni oyinhloko, endaweni, emizweni, esenzweni, enkumbulweni noma esingathekisweni esihlobene nesithombe. Ulimi lungakhethwa ngokukhululeka ngokwesimo somfanekiso; gwema umbhalo ongenanjongo nokuphindaphinda kwemishini.
Ingxenye engezansi kufanele igcine **isikhala esiningi esihlelwe ngenhloso**. Umzimba oyinhloko mawuthathe indawo encane noma ephakathi ngokubonakalayo, futhi ungabekwa eceleni, unamathele emaphethelweni, ulengiswe noma unqunywe ingxenye. Isikhala esingenalutho nobuningi bombhalo makubambe iqhaza ndawonye ekwakheni ukwakheka; sebenzisa izimo ezinhle nezimbi, ukuqoqana nokusabalala, umehluko wesikali nokulingana okungalingani ukuze kwakheke ukuphefumula nesikhala. Noma ingemuva lesithombe sokuqala liminyene noma umzimba umncane, qondisa kabusha indawo ngokususa, ukuhlela kabusha, ukusika nokushintsha isikali, ungakopishi ukwakheka kwaso kwasekuqaleni.
Khipha **imibala engu-2–4 ephilayo nehlukanisa isithombe** engxenyeni ephezulu, uyihlele kabusha ngokukhanya nokucaca okulingene, unciphise ubumpunga, ukuze imibala yombhalo icace, iphile, ifudumale futhi ibe yesimanje. Sebenzisa ingemuva elikhulu elicishe libe mhlophe noma elinombala okhanyayo kakhulu ohambisana nokushisa kombala wesithombe, ukuze kube khona indawo yokuphefumula. Gwema ukubukeka okumpunga, okumnyama, ukugcwala kombala okushibhile nemibala eminingi exubene.
Umphumela uwonke mawuhlanganise **ukuguqulwa kombhalo ube yisimo, ukwakheka komzimba ngombhalo, izinhlayiya zombhalo, izinkondlo ezibonakalayo, isikhala esikhulu esingenalutho nokwakheka kokuhlela okusezingeni eliphezulu**: uma ubukwa kude, kuqala kubonakale isithombe esilula nesinamandla; uma kusondelwa, kubonakale ukuthi umzimba wonke wakhiwe ngombhalo. Gwema ukuhlelwa kombhalo okuvamile, umbhalo omboza isithombe, ukukopishwa kwesigcawu sonke, ukudweba okungokoqobo, ukugcwalisa ingemuva, umbhalo ongasho lutho, izifanekiso zezihloko zezentengiso nemihlobiso eyinkimbinkimbi.
