rule of thirds is a very great design method... there are also other methods such as 60/30/10 or different repetative styles

if you want to learn about photography and taking great pictures... learn design and color more than how to use a camera... majority of photographers do lots of post editing on just one image... and take about 50 pictures or so to get just one shot
