Various Photo Compositions.

This photo of the kitten represents simplicity in a picture. There is nothing else taking your attention away from the subject of the photo, which is the kitten (this photo is also a good example of centering). I saved the photo as JPEG so it is lossy. Since it is lossy the image quality is thrown out.


 This photo is a wonderful example of framing. The photographer uses the cave to fram the beautiful ocean scenery. I once again saved this picture as a JPEG, so it has lost a lot of it's quality, unfortunatley. So once again this image is lossy.



This photograph is an example of leading lines in photo composition. As you can see, the road leads your eyes in curves throughout the picture until you reach the end, which seems to go on and on. Since a mojority of the photos online are saved as JPEG, and therefore lossy they all lose their image quality. This photo is also a lossy photo. I wish I could find a lossless photo, which only throws away a little bit of the photos quality, which makes the picture so much better.

Principles of Garphic Design.


The picture above is a great example of balance using horizontal symmetry. The image is evenly distributed, with the models, since they are the same size. Also this photograph is a great example of flowing rhythm, going left. First the model on the left had her arm out pointing the the left direction, which leads your eyes to the next model who is facing down and to the left where the purses are. This picture just takes your eyes from one position to the next, it's a great example of symmetry and flowing rhythm.


This photo is a great use of symmetry. The dog standing up and the girl squating down, makes them almost even but not quite. So therefore it is also a great example of proportion. Also, the dog and the girl represent dominance and unity. They give the photograph a sense of togetherness, while the street and buildings just fade into the background.
