Design+Principles

=**Design Principles**= Aidan Qualizza

=Balance= Balance means that the placement of the photographic elements are done in such a way that they create a visual equilibrium. Balance can be symmetrical (main subject in the absolute center) or asymmetrical (as in the case of rule of thirds where the subject is not in the centre). It draws your eyes in a create a visually appealing affect.

1) This picture makes me feel a sense of comfort. It makes me think of my Family, and how important they are to me. 2) This photo uses balance buy adding two subject directly on either side of the centre subject who is directly in the centre of photo. 3) The light in this photo is not natural and is coming from directly behind the camera. 4) Everything in this photo seems to have a smooth finish the only texture i can can see and feel is the jacket and it draws my attention to the three subjects. 5) The subject in the centre seems to be the main focal point in this photo. 6) The background is dark and has an eery feel. It looks like a police station. 7) I believe this photo is about the relation ship between the three triplets. They seem to have a bond unlike another.

=Framing= Framing means that the subject has been framed by surrounding objects creating a focal point on the main subject. Framing can be anything. it could be the branches in a tree or a woman's scarf, it depends on each photo. It draws your eye to the focal point of the picture.



1) This picture makes me feel, the same thing she seems to be. She looks scared, nervous, and upset about somthing. Her eyes seem to be looing right at me and makes me feel scared. 2)The woman's face is in the entire frame. She is staring right at the camera, and she seems to be mostly in the center. 3) The dark parts of this picture are what i find the most interesting. The light is casting large shadows on the right side of her face. This most likely is natural light from the sun. 4) The cloth that is surrounding her face has allot of texture in it. It crates a sense of balance from the smooth skin on her face. 5) The focus in this photo is definitly the eye. 6) The cloth is acting as the background in this photo. It is mostly dark and gives the photo a sense of mystery. Were is She? 7) This photo is about a poor woman waiting for her husband to get out of work and come home.

=Element Relationship= The relationship between different subjects evoke feelings within each and every one of us. We are all in relationships, whether its your parents friends or partners, they are all relationships. While in relationships we feel different thing, and when we see someone or something else experiencing the same feeling, we feel there pain.



1) This picture makes me laugh, and think of the person who came up wit the idea to make mutilated gingerbread men. 2) The fact that the "men" are perfectly balanced in the frame, and there are six of them allows me to see the whole photo without missing anything. 3)The light is coming from right hand corner of the photo, and i think it is artificial lighting coming from a stove top. 4) The gingerbread itself has texture, but by adding the icing on the top creates levels. 5)The focus in this photo is the "man'' That does not have legs. 6) The background is a cookies sheet. It is in focus for the most part, and it has a reflective quality. 7) This photo is about the relationship between the gingerbread men and the person eating them.

= = =Dynamic S curve=

When a photograph has the dynamic s curve your eye gets drawn to the first point of the curve then your eye will slowly move down the curve to observe the full picture. The s curve can be formed from different elements, weather it is light or walking trail, it draws our eye in and creats a dynamic, strong, photograph.

1) This picture makes me interested to find out were it was taken. It makes me ask questions like, Is that fire? Were was it taken? How was is taken. 2) This picture is balanced by the light streak going directly from one corner to another. The fact that the light is the only color in this photo creates a sense of mystery. 3) The light streak is the only light source in this photo. 4) The flame in the Light creates a sense of heat and texture. It is subtle but contributes to the photo. 5) the Steak of light is the main subject and focus in this picture. 6) It looks like the sky is outlining a mountain or hill, which gives depth to the photograph. 7) This photo is about Two cars climbing ad descending this mountain, and meeting each other in the center.

=Color Space= When a photo has allot of colour it gives it the wow factor. It can grab your attention in an instant and keep you focus on the photo. There are many different colours in the world, when a photographer uses extreme amounts of colour in there photo, it can have great results.



1) This picture makes me feel happy. Many people in this world are christian, and i know they are happy to see that jesus is every were in the world, not just on land. 2) The statue in the fore ground, would be boring without the scuba diver. The man adds a depth to the photo and gives the photo life. 3) The light is coming from above (the heavens). It seems to be coming from the sun. 4) The stone used in statue, has bee eroded away over time and has created an interesting texture. 5) Jesus is the focus in this photo. He is in the majority of the frame. 6) Blue, and lots of it. The background is the deep blue sea. 7) This photo is about an underwater statue of jesus off the sore on florida.

=Simplicity=

Simplicity adds intrigue to a photo. It makes the subject in the photo stand out to and extreme. When using simplicity often there is allot of repetition and patterns in a photos composition. =﻿=

1) The picture makes me verry confuzed. I do not know wht the quote means, and trying to figure it out makes my brain hurt 2) The large lettering is balanced out by the the people standing beside it. Without the people it would not be as dramatic. 3) The light seems to be comming from behind the lettering, as if it is a glass wall that is illuminated. 4) All the surfaces in this photo are smooth, and have clean edges. It gives the photo a modern feel. 5) The lettering is the focus in this photo. It is dramatic, and has an impact on the observer. 6) White walls. There is not much of a background it is mostly just a blank white wall. 7) This photo seems to be taken in a museum or art gallary, and the lettering seems to be a peice of art. For this peice of art i think it is up for diffrent interpritation. = **Depth and Feild** =

When a photographer uses depth and feild in a picture it creates a sense of expansion and life. It makes the photo feel bigger and as if there is life beond the horizon. We dont know what animals are living in, on, or behind the trees or the ocean that we see. It makes us think about what might be out there

.

1) This photo makes me feel sad. It makes me think about dieing and I am going to leave this eath. It also intrigues me. It makes me ask questions like; who is the person, and how they died. 2) the fact the picture is plot into diffrent section; foreground background, and the scull. Gives it a sense of balance. 3)THe light looks like artifical light, and it is coming from the top of the frame. 4) the dirt and gravel add texture to the ground, and the crack in the scull also adds texture. 5) The scull is the focus in this photo. 6) The diffrent layers in this photo add depth. Th dirt in the front, then the scull, then the ground leadding up to the hill, then the hill, then finaly the sky. 7) This photo is about the life and death of an anciant civilisation, that once lived in this area.
