LINES



I think that this image bes represents lines in photo composition because the lines on the water tower make the image look bolder. This image looks bold and strong because this image has a variety of lines in a variety of thicknesses and there all going in different directions. This image also has the characteristics of other photo compositions such as light and shadow, camera angles and linear.

DIAGONAL ' N ' RHYTHM



In my eyes I can't only choose one photo composition element because I believe that it best represents two elements, diagonal and repetition. The way it represents diagonal is that this picture was taken on top of the wall and pointed it at in an angle to give a diagonal movement across the image. It also represents repetition because it is a wall with the same kind of brick just repeatedly used. Using the same kind of brick over and over again creates rhythm throughout the image.

CAMERA ANGLE



This image is all about camera angle. It expresses the point of image by varying the way in which I held the camera. It creates a dynamic image. For this shot I had to go upside down and backwards to get the shot of this water pipe which doesn't really look like it at first glance because of the angle i choose. This image can also represent light and shadow because the scale of lights and darks vary throughout the image to express it's meaning.

MOOD



Mood, this image in my eyes best represents mood for this reason. The image itself isn't mysterious at all but the way it turned out is. This image to most people looks like a myestrious stranger walking down a lone hallway, creeping about. What this picture actually is a light bulb but the camera was shaking to create this blured affect. Creating a hole diffrent picture sceme within the picture. By doing this it creates a diffrent mood then the picture would normaly be and it adds meaning. This image has other aspects of photo composition such as linear, lines and center of intrest.

SIMPLICITY



I think that this photo best represents simplicity because I took this picture on the bases of what I wanted the viewer to see. I focused on the car wheel and not the hole car because that it was I wanted the viewer to look at and nothing else. The car wheel isn't the most exciting piece but I enhanced to add depth to the image. Overall this image is very simple and elegant.

photography lines




There are three types of lines, horizontal, vertical and diagonal, each one has a different impact among your picture. Lines are a very powerful element in the photography world, it takes a lot of practice to get the precise pattern of lines. So when an image is based on the concept of lines it is focusing on the lines within the picture, eg vertical horizontal and diagonal.

simplicity




Simplicity is what you want the viewer to see { focus on } in the image. Easy and simple. To make an image simple there must not be a cluttered background, because a busy background would draw the attention away from the image.

LOGO ASSIGNMENT




My company is called NRGY DESIGNS, I choose this name because the animal that I picked for my logo is a monkey which is naturally energetic, out there and loud. Which I think not only represents me but my company as well. My company specializes in a variety of things. We can be asked to create a design for the sticker on an ipod or a major design to represent another company on a billboard. My company also deals with personal contracts, we can create logos for other companies or a cereal box design for a small corporate business.
For my colored version of my logo design I used energetic lines to create an exciting feel to it. I used contrasting colors to show that my company is unique. In my eyes I believe that my logo is great.

Chess Piece

For this assignment the objective was to draw a chess piece and create your own background with movement. My chess piece was a king and I mad sure that before I started on my background I made sure that the chess piece was in proportion and lined up. What I did was add value by not only shadowing the chess but also the background. I did this by shading in the lines to the background so that there was no definite line. The theme of my picture was an underwater type background, I created movement with this by varying the thickness of the lines. When I was finished my drawing I had to add touch ups to make that the lines were crisp, and that the shadowing came right up to the line. By doing this you create the illusion of movement and also gave me a professional image. I believe that I meet the requirements that influenced a key part to create this assignment.
