Golden Ratio

Image
  This layout uses the Golden Ratio to create balance between the main content area and the sidebar. By dividing the page into sections based on this ratio, the design feels naturally engaging. It ensures that the main content gets more emphasis while still allowing space for additional information in the sidebar without overwhelming the user. This logo would feel balanced and proportionate due to the spacing and sizing of elements. The application of the Golden Ratio ensures that the design has a flow and symmetry, making it visually attractive and timeless. This image applies the Golden Ratio to the size and positioning of text elements, ensuring that the headline stands out while the supporting text is well-balanced in proportion.

rule of thirds

 Rule of thirds this uses the Rule of Thirds by positioning the horizon on the lower third gridline, allowing the sky to take up two-thirds of the image. Placing the sun at one of the grid intersections draws the viewer's eye naturally to it, creating a dynamic balance between the sky, ocean, and sun without the image feeling too centered or static.  In portrait photography, positioning the subject’s eyes along the top third of the image makes the composition more engaging. The eyes fall near the gridline, which makes the viewer connect more deeply with the subject. This off-center placement provides balance and a sense of motion or space within the portrait. the surrounding space creates a sense of scale and context, while the placement of the building aligns with the Rule of Thirds gridlines, making the image feel balanced yet dynamic. This technique allows the viewer to appreciate both the architecture and its environment.

Principles

 Principles Balance The reflection creates a symmetrical balance, where both the bridge and its reflection share equal visual weight. This makes the image feel stable and harmonious, as if both halves of the photo are perfectly matched. the boat and ray of sun balance each other because they hold equal visual importance. This creates symmetrical balance, where different objects still create a sense of equilibrium within the photo. The trees are the focal point and are framed by the mountains, which are spread out evenly across the image. This creates symmetrical balance, where both sides of the photo feel equally weighted, giving it a peaceful and stable appearance. Contrast The dark trees stand out sharply against the bright white snow, creating a strong visual difference between light and dark. This high contrast makes the tree the focal point and emphasizes its shape, making the image visually striking. The red flowers contrast with the green grass because they are opposite colo...

  Elements Line-  The road itself acts as a leading line, drawing your eyes straight towards the vanishing point. The line emphasizes depth and creates a strong sense of direction, making the viewer feel as though they’re traveling down the road. The vertical lines created by the trunks of the trees give a sense of rhythm and order. These lines can lead the viewer's eyes forward, emphasizing height and structure, while also creating a pattern that can create symmetry.    The straight, angular lines of the building's design create a sense of precision and order. The lines guide the viewer's eye across the photo, highlighting the architectural details and creating a dynamic composition that feels structured and intentional. Shape The heart shape is clear and instantly recognizable, making it the focal point of the image. The simplicity of the shape draws attention and gives the photo a distinct, meaningful form. The square shape of the window is the main element in the...

01 Compositional tools research- how to recognize great and bad images

Describe how you recognize a "great" picture? How do you recognize a bad image? A "great" digital picture is one that stands out when you see it on your screen. It might have vibrant colors, sharp details, and good lighting that make the image look really clear and appealing. The composition, or how everything is arranged in the picture, feels balanced and draws your attention to the main subject. A great digital picture often tells a story or captures a moment in a way that feels powerful, even through a screen. A bad digital image, on the other hand, might be blurry, have poor lighting, or be pixelated, which makes it look low-quality. The colors might look dull or too harsh, and the picture might be hard to understand because it's not composed well. Sometimes, it just doesn’t evoke any emotion or interest, so you scroll past it without giving it much thought.
