Design+Principles

=Design Principles: = Ashley

Framing:
Framing is what it sounds like, framing that occurs naturally.

In this photo the leaves are framing the lake. The photo is very balanced, from the leaves on ether side of the photo to the contrast between the greens and blues. The light is coming off the right, as for texture the leaves would be rough. The grass would be soft, and the water of course Wet, but cool In the Background are hills, lots of hills.

Triangles:
Triangles are just one of the many shapes you can use in photography. But the point of them is to make the viewer look around the photo, to take it all in.

There are three triangles in this photo, all of them are the islands themselves. The picture has a bit of contrast between the dark green-gray of the islands, and the blue of the ocean The background is the open ocean, darker blue because of the winds.

Diagonals:
Diagonals bring in the attention of the viewer into the subject.

In this photo the diagonal lines are being drawn towards the subject The picture has one subject, and in that way it's simple. just the green of the leaf, and the orange and black of the butterfly It's also contrasted. But the subject is also off centre

Direction :
Gives a sense of movement, and direction. Making the viewer look in a certain direction

This photo is balanced, there are pillars on both the left and the right, but the subject is off balance The use of direction makes me look from the bottom left to the top right. In some ways it's a very simple photo as well, there is only one subject (the pillars) and the background is plain ocean

Depth of Field:
It make the viewer look into the picture, and it enhances the feeling of the photo This photo has depth of field. The flower is very present in the foreground, and the other flowers aren't in focus, in the background. Using depth of field, enhances the feeling and power of the image. The photo has some contrast, between the colours. But the background is very cluttered, with all of the other flowers in it.

Dynamic "S" Arrangement:
This design principle makes the viewer loo around the photo, and almost gives a sense of motion. This photo is very simple, just a windy path, against green grass. The "S" shape of this path is supposed to make the viewer look around the photo.

Simple and Single Point :
This principle is supposed to make the image completely simple, and uncluttered, making it more appealing. This photo is very simple, just a single flower (one point) on a black background There is a big contrast between the dark pink and yellow flower, and the black background Uncluttered and simple, sometimes is the way to go! :)
