Principles of Design

Contrast-There are two of the same cups, but the backgrounds are different color.
 Emphasis-This photo shows the emphasis of the yellow taxi, and catches your eye before the grey stuff in the image does.
 Movement-This photo shows the movement of the white and black threads moving.
 Rhythm-This photo shows the repetition of the colors,line and the feeling of movement.
 Unity-This photo gives the viewer the feeling the the oranges should be together.
Variety-This photo uses different lines, colors, and shapes.
Symmetrical Balance-This photo shows the viewer that the bridge is symmetrical when standing in the middle of the bridge. 

Elements of design


                             Color-I chose this poster because it uses both, primary and secondary colors.

 Form-I chose this poster because is is focused on the shape of Spiderman's symbol, which is making it look more real than it is.
                                         
 Line-I chose this poster because it shows different lines, and it still attracts your eyes to make out the image of the man who is on the poster.
                                                         
  Shape-I chose this poster for shape because the poster is made up of all sorts of shapes ex. circles, rectangles, ovals, triangles, etc.

  Texture-This movie poster shows lots of detail, but it also makes it look like it would feel very rough and possibly spiky.

 Value-This poster is made up of light blues, dark blues, red, and green. On the right side of the poster the colors appear to be faded and on the left the colors appear more.
           
Space-This poster overlaps and shows the viewer that the glass is closer to us and the girl is further away.

Question #2 
  •   Why did you chose this topic - was it a previous interest or would you like to learn more about it?
    • I chose this topic because I enjoy photography and would like to learn more about how it works. There are many different types of photographs that are caught from a different perspective other than what we make it out to be.

    • ·         Using my visual aid- www.visualaids.org, I think they are trying to reach a target audience of people aged from mid-teens and older. I think they are looking to target people who have a desire for photography and can maturely understand the photos that are being displayed.


Question # 5 
  • Why did you chose the specific visual aid and how does it best represent your chosen topic?  
    • ·         I chose this visual because I think it shows a different style of photography that most people would look at and consider it to be ‘weird’. I find it very interesting and passionate how the photos were taken and left for the viewers to try and figure out the story behind it.
