Elements+of+Design+Photo+1

=__**Line**__= Highway to El Chaltein, Patagonia By: Eastcott Momatiuk 2006 Resource: Getty Images

This picture represents line (element of design) because a line photo in photography is a line in a picture that communicates with emotion and states of mind through its character and direction. Also, it is a path of a point. I can see that the point of the path is far out in the distance where it looks like the person is headed. There are many different kinds of line photo's but I think that this photo represents line the best. I think this because it is a road with the yellow like in the middle leading to an unknown place. This shows emotion like in the definition of line photography because it is more of a blank feeling because there is no homes, cars, or people around. The direction of this photo is going somewhere far away.

=__**Shape**__= Star Shaped Cloud By: John Lund Resource: Getty Images

This photo represents shape (element of design) because shape is in a perceivable area. In a shape photo, the shape is clearly defined. In this photo, the star is made of the clouds. You can see that the shape is more defined than the sky background. Another reason why this is a shape photo is it is a geometric shape, which means it has sides, angles, and is a closed shape. A shape photo is more simple than the other types of elements of design because it is really just a picture of a shape.

=**__Value__**= Golden Handshake By: Brand New Images Resource: Getty Images

This represents an element of design. The element of design that this photo shows is value. Value is a relation between light and darkness. This follows this rule because the golden hand on the left represents light because it is bright with gold and the hand on the left represents darkness because it is not shinny, it is dull to show that the golden hand is more important. To me this photo shows me that a rich man and poor man can still be friends. I think that this represents a rich man shaking a regular mans hand because the photographer made the guys hand on the left gold to show that he is the focus in this photo.

=**__Texture__**= Ponderosa pines, Yosemite National Park, CA By: Eastcott Momatluk Resource: Getty Images

This picture represents an element or design. This represents a texture photo because the definition of a texture photo is either physical or visual. Texture is the surface quality of the shape (smooth, rough etc.). This photo represents texture because you can see and imagine what the tree bark really feels like. You can tell that it looks rough because of the big pieces of bark. To take a texture picture it has to be a focused up close picture of the object.

=__**Form**__= Bahamas, palm frond and wave By: Stephen Wilkes Resource: Getty Images

This represents an element of design. This represents form because form is a 3-dementional object having volume an thickness. This picture represents form because you can see the waves crashing in the background. This shows 3D because it is not a flat image you can almost see the movement and expect what is going to happen next. Another example of form in this photo is the palm of the tree drifting in the photo. This is 3D too because the leaves fold over and make the image 3-dementional and look like it is seen from all directions.

=__**Color**__= Fruit & vegetable color wheel By: David Malan Resource: Getty Images

This represents an element of design. This represents color because color is used to describe an object. Certain colors are used to express feeling. Color is the basic color theory. This picture represents color because there is a variety of color to create the mood of the photo. This photo has a happy theme because there are lots of bright colors, such as red, orange, and yellow. Even though it's just a color wheel of fruit, it sets the move of health and the beauty of the colors of fruits.

=**__Space__**= A Trail in the Woods By: Leonora Hamill Resource: Getty Images

This represents an element of design. This represents space because a space picture has a height and width. The height of the picture is the tall trees, and the width is the sun shining on the ground causing lines to go horizontal. Also, space is an illusion of depth. This photo has an illusion of depth because the shot is taken to look into the woods and make the distance look faint. Also, space is often taken in an atmospheric perspective. This photo is obviously in the atmosphere because it is in the woods dealing with nature.
