Design+Principles

Adrianna

__Depth__ - Creates a sense of depth and draws viewer into the photo.
This picture makes me feel relaxed because it looks so peaceful. I looks like a cool summers night. I really like the colour balance of this photo, the colours are bright. The pier is dark and the other colours are bright which creates a nice contrast.Also, he blue contrasts the yellow and makes the yellow of the sun stand out. The picture is lit fom the remainer of the sun before it sets. With the water and the wet sand, this photo has a very wet texture. I think that the focus of the photo is the background because of all the colours. This photo is about the beauty and simplicity of a beach sunset.

__Balance__ - Geometric
This picture makes me feel energetic because of the bright lighting. It is a geometric image. This design principle works with this image because it makes it symetrical which I find visually appealing. The image is balanced with a line of symmetry vertically down the center. The lighting seems as though it is coming through the windows. It must have been taken on a bright day because the photo is so bright. There are many textures within this image. The carpet looks scratchy yet the pews look smooth and soft. The background is quite busy with all the stained glass images. The stained glass is very bright so the background is also a focus point of the photo. This photo is about the archutexture of the church.

__Dynamic S Arrangement__ - Forces eye to move around the photo
This picture also makes me feel energetic because of the bright trails of light. This picture must have been composed with long exposure to trace the lights that the cars made. the pictue is created with light but the lighting of the photo must've come from either the sun or the moon. There are different textures in this photo because the scenery of the grassy hills look soft while the road looks smoth and the light lines look sharp. The focus of the photo is the lines of light on the road. The background is a city looking out onto an ocean. The photo is about how people need to slow down.

__Element Relationship__ - Elements interact producing harminious result
This picture warms my heart because I love animals. The picture is balanced with the faces of the wolves in the top third. the lighting is coming from the sun. The texture is one of the main points of this photo because the wolves look so soft. The focus of the photo is the wolves interaction and how one is angry looking while the other looks so calm. There isn't much background because picture is so zoomed in on the wolves. The green of the background niceely contrasts the grey of the wolves. This photo is about making the onlooker wonder what the wolves are looking at.

__Colour Space__ - Magnetic qualities of vibrant colours. Quality of light determines hue, saturation, lightness
This is another photo that makes me feel energetic. This picture is super close up and is composed with every aspect being totally crisp and clear. The picture is lit with really bright and vibrant colours. The texture of the image is very apparent. The bee looks fuzzy, the pollen also looks fuzy and the petals of the flower look crisp and fresh. The bee is the main focus of the picture. The flower background is vibrant and almost takes on a focus of its own. The photo is about the bee's routine to survive.

__Framing__ - One aspect of the image frames and brings attention to the main aspect
This photo makes me feel happy because of the bright lighting of the center of the photo under a rainbow. Most of the photo is in the lower third with the rainbow being used as a frame. The lighting of the photo is coming from the sun. The texture of the top of the picture where the sky is looks icy and slick while the bottom underneath the rainbow looks warm, soft, and welcoming. The background of the photo is plain and draws the eye forward to look at the barn and field. This picture is the beauty after a storm and the simplicities of life.

__Narrow Depth of Field__ - Blurry background forcing viewer to look at the foreground instead of background
This picture makes me feel simple. The picture is composed with the focus being merely on the bird. The lighting is natural light. the texture of the bird looks soft. the focus is strictly on the bird and what the bird is standing on. The background is completely blurred out. The photo is about a bird watching something while someone watches the bird.
