Graphic Design Assignment #2

Today in class, we learned the basics of photo composition. We covered the basics of Simplicity, Rule of Thirds, Centering, Lines, Subject-Background, Angles and Framing. For our assignment, we have to find 3 pictures that represent different photo compositions.

This photograph represents the composition of Framing. As I learned on the class powerpoint, "Frames can be created by other objects near or related to the subject to create visual interest." The subject's hands in this photo are utilized to frame her face, which is ultimately the item of visual interest. (JPEG image)

This photo represents the composition of Leading Lines. Lines that are more dominating than others help to create organization within the photograph. In this picture, the walkway and the rocks surrounding it provide the lines leading the viewer's eye towards the skyline. (JPEG image)

This image represents the composition of Simplicity. The art of simplicity is being able to make a statement with a non-complex thing. I think this photo definitely speaks for itself. (JPEG image)
