"Mark" — Combinable composition guides based on and inspired by principles of dynamic symmetry.

For composition, design, and analysis.

With Mvrk you can use these techniques in photography and design to perfect your own work.

These guide armatures help to define and compose your images in flowing, aesthetically pleasing, and narratively interesting ways.

Unlike other guides that can be found in video tools, Mvrk provides armatures that include diagonal lines such as baroque and sinister angles, and reciprocals.

Several commonly used guides are also included for convenience, such as the rule of thirds, or safe area.

In Resolve, each guide is rendered as an effect powered by OpenFX that can be controlled and animated. The guides are rendered in realtime on the GPU, and can be cached if necessary.

In more design capable tools such as After Effects and Cavalry, Mvrk operates a little differently. Guides are applied to the project as shapes that can be adjusted as needed.
