Design Elements and Principles
After learning about the elements and principles of design, I had the opportunity to take photos of objects that exemplify them. Before I describe my process, here is my slideshow of the photos I took:
Design Elements and Principles
So after I learned about the seven design elements and the seven design principles, I asked myself "Where in the world am I going to find images exemplifying these?" And then I noticed the lines in the table cloth. I then noticed the way that the light was shining through the window shades onto the carpet. The texture of the rug and the flooring caught my eye; I quickly realized that the elements and principles of designs are all around me. I began to take photos and as I became satisfied with the photo framing, I would see another example that I would want to shoot. Before I knew it, I had all 14 images, but even more importantly, I now had the realization that I am surrounded by the design elements and principles.
My photoshoot may be over, but my eyes are open to the everyday world around me in a way that they were not before. What other examples of the elements and principles of design will I find, I wonder?

Great summary! The elements and principles really are all around us! I liked that you chose mostly gray scale images because it seemed to simplify to task at hand which was to identify the E & P's
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your summary about the principles of design project. The everyday world really does have principles of design everywhere, and we just don't notice them on a daily basis! I think the pictures you chose for the elements/principles matched up nicely with the terms. I especially like your photo for color! Although, I feel like your picture for value could've been made better in maybe a darker lighting of some sort or a different picture all together, because the value isn't really a focus point in that picture. Overall, nice job!
ReplyDeleteI thought that your slideshow was interesting and approached differently than other people. I could tell that you used certain elements within and around the home that effectively used the elements and principles of design. I thought that all of your photos effectively reflected what was asked through the assignment. Your project was very creative and successful. The text that you provided along side your powerpoint was helpful and I really enjoyed reading how you approached this. The uncertainty in the beginning with how you would find elements and principles turned out to be a well done project. You answered and provided all of the necessary photos and text that were asked.
