Elements of Design


This is my Elements of Design Photography project. For the elements of design, the purpose was to take pictures that consisted of shape, texture, color, space, and lines. For the line photograph, I didn't want to take a picture of a single line because it would make the photo really boring. So, I found something outside of my house that has crazy lines but looks pretty. For color, I wanted to get something with a beautiful mixture of colors.. it isn't a variety of colors, but it still looks good. As for texture, there isn't a lot of nature that consists of texture so I had to put something together that would draw our eyes to it. So I picked a simple, very light texture background & a shirt that stands out due to the colorful polka dots. I didn't have a picture that illustrates shape, so I had to wait till I got to school to look for something that uses shape. I found these benches that are shaped into a square with a circular trash can in the center. I thought it was perfect to get a shot of! & lastly, MY FAVORITE, is the space photo that shows isolation. I'm not really a huge person when it comes to nature, but when I looked into my yard and found this blooming, beautiful flower with the dead one in the background I thought it was perfect for space. The flowers' stem stretches making it further from the rest of the plant which categorizes it as isolation. Overall, I am enjoying digital photography. It was hard putting it all together & adding graphic design.. but in the end, I was satisfied. I am looking forward to continuing digital work in photo class. The end result, GORGEOUS!
