This assignment was definitely the most difficult and time consuming out of all the ones we've done in the school year. There were multiple times where I borrowed a camera so I could use personal items and get the shots I wanted. This was a major help in completing the assignment because bringing items from home to school and back would've been a hassle. The spark of creative for these types of pictures was undeniably challenging because there was already a variety of them on the internet. However, with the aid of my dad and friends, they shared their great ideas that I interpreted to make well-composed pictures. In addition, this assignment taught me much more aspects of a digital camera and further explored my creativity.
This photo incorporates multiple principles and elements of design such as balance, emphasis, proportion and scale, line, and color. Balance can be seen when looking at the street because the middle white strip helps attract the eye shortly and does not hold the attention for too long. Also, the colors and lighting produces more balance because it isn't too bright or too dark. The focal point of this photo are the keys, which are much bigger than the actual person and is the main thing our eyes go back to. Overall, the composition of this photo enhances many of the principles and elements of design for the audience to view.
The photo is prominently eye catching because of the bright colors that harmonize with one another and give an earthy feeling. The pops of orange are extremely small but they are enough to add into the overall photo. The label of the water bottle is able to harmonize with the sky and plants since it's a slightly darker blue. The focal point also adds into the nature aspect because of its water component. This leads into the concept of the picture because the person is practically holding a massive water bottle and is ready to take a huge sip. However, it is all in her hand placements as they helped with the perspective and are curved to look like she's actually holding the bottle. In addition, this photo is a well-balanced composition that is layered with multiple principles and elements of design.
This photo creates a calming aura when first looked upon because of the sense in unity and balance it displays. Not only those the ukulele play the role of a focal point, but it also uses different types of lines to make up its shape. This leads the eye to the man who's sitting on the edge of the instrument. Since, the photo was shot at a certain place and angle, it gives the illusion of a tiny person sitting on top of an instrument. The angle of camera also captured the trees at the perfect point because they aren't cut off and there isn't too much sky showing. All of these factors and much more help create and describe this picture in a unique way.
