Design+Principles

__**Design Principles - Emily**__

__Depth__ I think that this picture is a very good example for depth, because you cannot see the end of the street in this photo. This photo makes me feel sad, because the houses look very decrepit and very lonely. I think this is also underlined by the black-whiteness of the picture. Because of this it also looks old. On both sides of the picture are houses and in the middle the street. I think that this picture does not seem lightened, because of the grey sky. Everything is lightened in the same way. The texture is simple because the photo only consists of the houses, the street and the sky. The focus is the end of the photo. You want to know what comes behind it, where the street is leading you. In the background it looks like that the street goes left, because you can only see on the right side that the houses go on and not on the left side. Maybe there also some cars. I think that the photo is about the lonesomenss in a normal city. That it does not has to be crowded, it only can seem very empty.

__Dynamic "S" Arrangement__ I think this picture is a very good example for the Dynamic "S" Arrangement, because the river takes course in a S figure. The picture makes me feel lonely, bacause there are no people in the pictur and it is just pure nature. It is just the S - course of a river in a lonely evironment. On the sides and in the background you can see mountain, but they are all far away. At both banks is grass.You cannot see the end of the river so this picture could also be an example for depth, because you may wonder what comes after the river. The lighting seems to come from the right side of the sky. You can see some clouds, but not the son. Only on the right back of this picture the picture is lightened, so maybe over the front is a big cloud, which you cannot see, because it is darker. The texture of the image is very simple, because the image consists only of a river, the mountains and the gras. The focus of the picture is the part of the river where you can see a reflection of a cloud. When I first looked at the picture, my focuswas there. In the background is a mountain and it seems that in front of it is fog, because it looks blurry. Maybethere is also sea, because you can see something blue in front of it, which seems like a little sea. I think the photo is about the beautifulness of the nature and about the untouchedness of some parts in the world. And also that the river seems to search for a good way to the end, which it did in an S - Arrangement.

__Triangles__ I think that this photo is a very good example for triangles, because in this picture are about a thousand triangles. The picture makes me feel uncertain, because it has no real end and always goes on. Because of that this picture could also be used as an example for depth. On this picture you can see the legs of a very long bridge, which are devided into triangles. The legs always get longer, because it is built on a hill, which goes into the sea. Only the front legs are lightened, because the rest are coverd into light fog. The light is coming from above, but from the right side in the picture. The texture is very complicated, because there are so many triangles in every leg of the bridge. The focus of the photo is the front leg, because the rest are in the background and not so lightened and a bit blurry. In the background you can see big clouds and not really the end of the bridge, because of them. The photo is about the bridge.

__Balance__ I think this photo is a very good example for Balance, because the light house is in the middle and on both sides oft the light houseis the same: gras and people. This picture makes me feel like I am in a village near the baltic sea. On the photo you can see in the middle the light house and on bide sides of it people and grass. So the picture is balanced. The lighting comes from the left. You can see that because only the left side of the light house is lightened. The texture is very simple. The focus is the light house, because it sticks out of the picture, because it is white and the middle of the photo. In the background you can see the ocean and of course the sky with some clouds.

__Framing__ I think that this picture is a very good example for Framing, because the shore and the ocean are framed by a window. The picture makes me feel like I am on holidays because of the sea. In the photo you can see the framing, which is the window and the wall, and the ocean with the stones. the lighting comes from the right above, because only the left side of the window is lightened and the ocean, but not the the right side oft the window. The texture is very simple, because the photo only consists of the seaand the framing. I think that the focus of this photo is the ocean and the wideness of it. In the background you can see how the ocean goes over into the sky. I think that this picture is about the beautifulness of the ocean.

__Diagonales__ I think that this picture is a very good example for Diagonales, because the shafts of sunlight are coming diagonal in this photo, from the right upper corner to the left lower corner. The picture makes me feel like it is the beginning of spring and this are the first shafts of sunlight in the year. In the picture you can see several trees and a bit of the sky where the shafts of sunlight come from. This also explains where the lighting comes from: the upper right corner. I think that the texture of this photo is compicated, because there are so many trees and it is not balanced. the focus of the picture are the shafts of sunlight. In the background you can see a lot of trees. The photo is about the beautifulness in the forrest with the shafts of sunlight.

__Simple and Single Point__ I think this photo is a very good example for Simple and Single Point, because the person in the picture is the simple and single point in this picture. The picture makes me feel cold, because even though this is a desert, it looks like snow to me, because the sand looks so white. On the picture you can see a gut wandering around in the desert and behind him some water, maybe a lake. The lighting comes from above. there are some clouds on the sky, so you cannot see the sun. The texture is very simple, because the picture only consists of the boy, the desert and the lake and the sky with the clouds. The focus of the picture is the boy, because he is the only one who is really colored. The rest are just light colors. In the background you can see more desert and a little lake between it. The photo is about the boy, who is wandering alone in the desert and seems to want to go in the water.
