Principles+of+Design

=__**Balance**__= Women Walking on Log at Yosemite National Park By: Cavan Images Resource: Getty Images

This photo represents a principle of design. This photo represents balance because it is symmetrical. There are 2 types of balances in photography; symmetrical, and asymmetrical.This photo is symmetrical because there is 2 trees on each sides to even out the photo, with the girl straight in the middle. Balance is equalizing the visual weight of elements. The weight of the elements are equal because there is no part of the photo that is not even or more heavy on one side.

=__**Contrast**__= Diamond on Coal By: Jeffrey Coolidge Resource: Getty Images

This photo represents a principle of design. This photo represents contrast because contrast is a difference in the color, lighting, and objects in the photo. A more simple way to look at it is contrast is the difference between objects. This is a really good example of contrast because a diamond is very different from black coal rocks. Also, because a diamond is worth more value than coal, so the contrast is very bright and can be noticed easily. The colors and brightness of the 2 contrasted items in this photo are different because the coal is dull and not shinny, where the diamond is shinny and pops out of the photo.

=__**Emphasis**__= Meteor Impact By: Max Dannenbaum Resource: Getty Images

The photo represents a principle of design. This photo represents emphasis because emphasis is the object or thing in a photo that catches your eye first. Also, emphasis is a focal point that begins the path our eyes will follow as we take in the whole art work, and the part in the photo that has the most contrast. This photo represents emphasis because the meteor impact in the middle of the photo catches your eye when you first look at this photo. You look at this part of the photo first because it has the bright orange, yellow, and red colors. The meteor impact contrasts from the rest of the photo because it is bright and easy to see because the rest of the photo is dark and not as eye catching as the rest of the photo.

=__**Movement**__= Figure Skating Jump By: Robert Decelis Ltd Resource: Getty Images

This photo represents a principle of design. The photo represents movement because movement is motion or movement in a visual image occurs when objects seem to be moving in a visual image. This photo represents movement because in the photo is a moving object in the image, but looks like it is frozen. This photo is a figure skater jumping through the air. Even though the photo is not blurry and showing actual motion, you can tell that this girl is moving.

=__**Pattern**__= Macro of Sliced Kiwi By: Siri Stafford Resource: Getty Images

This photo represents a the principle of design called pattern. I think that this represents pattern because pattern is keeping the design in the photo in a certain format. For instance, in this photo the pattern of the green part of the kiwi is the same with the lines. The seed also represent pattern because they look the same throughout the photo and there is not a random object in the middle of the photo. I think a picture of a kiwi is a good example of pattern because the texture of the kiwi creates a pattern that is the same all the way around.

=**__Rhythm__**= Sheet Music and Cut Paper Patterns By: Geoff Brightling Resource: Getty Images

I think that this photo represents a the principle design of rhythm. I think this because rhythm shows that the design has a "beat" or "flow" going with it. This photo represents rhythm because it looks like it has lots of different kinds and colors of sheets of music. This is rhythm because it looks like it is moving and is flowing. Also, the music stanza's add to the rhythm because it makes it look like there is a song being played and adds the scene of motion in this photo. As I said before the colors makes rhythm complete. I think that rhythm is better represented with bright colors because it shows the mood of the rhythm.

=**__Unity__**= Joined Hands By: Steve Marsel Resource: Getty Images

I think that this photo represents the principle design of unity. I think that this is unity because unity means keeping the design in a sort of harmony in which all sections of the pattern make other sections feel complete. Unity helps the design to be seen as one design instead of randomness all around your design. I think that is photo represents unity because the joined hands shows harmony and since the hands are all joined and organized it makes the photo organized and not more heavy on one side. This photo is organized because it looks the same basically in all aspects of the photo.
